    Recommended ZFS pool setup?

    My personal recommendation is Mirror for Proxmox OS drives and Z1 for the VMs. This keeps the OS drives separate from everything. Much easier to work with. I personally do not prefer Z1 at all since it only gives 1 drive failure redundancy. But it is understandable in your case due to lack of...

    [SOLVED] SWAP behavior on Proxmox 6

    Hello, Has SWAP behavior changed on Proxmox 6? I have noticed that after the upgrade the swap mention has been automatically removed from /etc/fstab. The GUI shows Swap usage N/A for the host. Also LXCs are not swapping any more since the host itself has no swap space allocated. I can fully...

    Backscatter IP Blacklist due to NDRs

    Hello, The PMG is trying to send out lots of Bounce reports to bogus destination we are receiving SPAM emails from. This is putting our IP address into Backscatter IP Blacklist and causing some issue when users are trying to send out emails. Some destination servers rejecting emails coming out...

    Praises To Proxmox Dev Team

    I have been looking at Proxmox GUI on mobile since it was introduced several years ago. I must say I am very impressed where it is today! Although there are some rooms for improvement, it has been greatly enhanced. I was also really glad to see the console works great now on mobile. I wanted...

    Very Large Proxmox cluster possibility

    That's a great idea @dietmar ! By having the Ceph MON nodes in the cluster and everything else outside looks like the Ceph cluster can still be managed. Just tried it on a Proxmox+Ceph cluster. I removed some OSD nodes from the cluster and I can still see all the OSDs from PMX GUI. Thanks dietmar!

    Very Large Proxmox cluster possibility

    I understand Proxmox is tested in a 16 node cluster lab. Although there are no hard coded limit, Redhat and Suse limits to 32 nodes for technical support perspective. My question is it possible to scale say 80 nodes in a cluster without breaking something. Let's say I want to deploy a Ceph...

    VZDump slow on ceph images, RBD export fast

    eve4pve-barc is a backup app strictly for Ceph RBD. I don't believe it will do a backup when VM is stored on CephFS or any other storage. barc uses rbd export.

    VZDump slow on ceph images, RBD export fast

    The config files that are missing images, are they stored on Ceph? I use --vmid=all key. Initially, when started using barc, some of the VMs were not stored on Ceph. So for those, it only backed up the config files but not the image because it could not create snapshot.

    [SOLVED] Enable KRBD on non-KRBD Ceph Pool

    I think my initial post was not clear enough. I am already using 2 pools, one for KVM disk images with KRBD disabled, and the other for LXC containers with KRBD enabled. My question was if I can enable KRBD for the non KRBD pool and start storing LXC containers along with KVM disk images on the...

    [SOLVED] Enable KRBD on non-KRBD Ceph Pool

    I do not have a test Ceph cluster to test this with, so wondering if anybody got some info. I have always used 2 ceph pools for KVM and LXC disk images. On LXC Ceph pool I had KRBD enabled while the pool for KVM disk images had KRBD disabled. My question is, can I enable KRBD on the non-KRDB...

    Prevent Password less access into LXC using pct command

    Hello, Is there a way to prevent passwordless access into an LXC from hypervisor? Currently, anyone accessing Pmx console can simply use pct command and enter any LXC in the node without needing any credentials at all.

    Mailgateway Virus Scanner Not Effective

    I agree with you dietmar. But when a client runs their own test to check how effective the filter is and they see emails that should have been blocked and they are not, it does cause alarm. Also besides the EICAR test, there have been incidents where emails with attachment got through. When...

I sent some EICAR test to our email server and only 1 out of 7 'virus' email got blocked. Repeated test showing the same result. The Action is to remove all attachment which...

    Backup storage option if solely used CEPH with Proxmox

    This is an old thread I started way back when I first stumbled upon Ceph. Felt a bit nostalgic reading it. :) The cluster I started back them has grown into an oak tree. Proxmox did not have any Ceph support on the GUI. My initial cluster was on Ubuntu. was trying to find a better option to...
