    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Maybe I should log one then :). To date I have been using these forums to post the issue - guess that is the wrong location. Overall - lvm is stable. However... I have 17 servers all different specs. 6 of them crash. The rest don't. I am certain that this is related to disk io / driver...

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    I would be happy with that too - my concern is the problem creeping in again. If you search the net - you will find that this has been an ongoing issue in the redhat kernel for a very long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! You dont need to? hcp simply uses empty space on the disk to store the files. You are in effect creating a snapshot - and copying the data off it. The aim being to have a filesystem that is not being modified while...

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Hi Tom, I said it was 'free'. (note the quotes) It is not opensource/gpl - but you get a free licence. I personally would prefer to use lvm - as this is all provided by the OS; but the fact is that LVM is not...

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Yes. Essentially that! The only issue is you also need to grab the config files from /etc/vz/conf and /etc/qemu-server to match the machine id. I have had a look at the vzdump script & code. It really should not be...

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! There is really not much to share. Bacula is a client server backup system; install of it is a matter of getting a central backup server; and then installing an agent on each machine. There is tons of documentation...

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! I have not yet written a replacement for vzdumps to do this. My original request you will see is to suggest this is added as an option :-) I will be doing something to get this working soon! Rob

    Proxmox Backups - An option to not use HCP Snapshots

    Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! I have used the latest version of HCP not problem. My backups simply use bacula.. then a before and after script to run an hcp snapshot /remove on the /var/lib/vz volume. No hangs.. lockups.. just works. IMHO - LVM...

    problems creating veth for ct

    Is that log not saying that it already exists - and that all you need to do is configure the ethernet in your guest os?

    Finally stable! - LSI Megaraid - Proxmox 2

    Well... 24 hours on and LVM snapshot removal fails again! It seems that a lvm snapshot can be removed easily if you create & remove it... but leave it running for a long time (e.g. my backups) and it crashes! Looking round the net - this is a kernel/udev issue. Anyone got any magic fixes? Rob

    Configure different valid ips in same eth to different VMs

    I would set the guest to use a bridge mode ethernet - and then config the ip within the guest manually.
