    Hi All, Anyone following my various posts on this forum will have noted that I have been having allot of problems recently! Poor disk performance... lvm snapshots not working... random disk io lockup etc. I have now finally got it working and my machines are backing up no problem! Disks are...

    Lvm

    Happens to me on a 3-4 different machines! All on the latest firmware. Thje only thing I cam see that is 'common' is that the machines have 'high io' and the 'lsi megaraids'. I will try a driver upgrade on them - but not sure this will work! Rob

    Lvm

    Update Driver..... lsi megaraid cards

    So... I have applied by brain and got the new driver installed. Fix as follows: 1. apt-get install build-essential 2. apt-get install pve-headers-2.6.32-7-pve (or whichever version you are using) 3. download the LSI drivers: 4. Extract the drivers too: /usr/local/src (the file you...

    Update Driver..... lsi megaraid cards

    Hello, As part of my excersise to try and address why my megaraid cards: 9640-i and 9660-i keep locking out disk io; I have been working through some potential fixes with LSI. The one thing they have come back with is: -- The issue that needs to be resolved is with the driver being used. In...

    Some minor bugs ...

    That is good to hear :-) What about the situation that.. occationally.. processes will not migrate properly? I usually find the issue is things like mail servers under virtualmin. They migrate - but just dont seem to work after migration? Simply restarting the service solves it - but not...

    Some minor bugs ...

    Some minor bugs ...

    Hello, I get the fact that is has to be offline to migrate. No issue there. However... in previous version you could achieve a migration and it would shutdown & start the box automatically between first and final syncs. Any reason why this has been removed? I personally find that option...

    Some minor bugs ...

    Hello, I am not sure where to report these -or if they are already known? 1. vzmigrate option in gui does not allow you to do a 'non online' migration. But you can from the CLI? 2. after extended periods of running - the left had box on the gui looses the ability for the scroll bar to...

    Firmware version..

    I have tuned and tweaked like crazy... Nothing makes the problem go away. I am now convinced that the issue is sources in a wired driver/card/drive combination. Changing the drives to a different make helps - but not perfect. I have sent logs off to lsi. Hopefully they can make some...
