    Q: Snapshots in qcow2 - sanity check

    Thank you very much for the reply / this information! Greatly appreciated. Part of the drama around this whole thing, was that the first-pass test snap/remove was done smoothly on Friday and it seemed to go ok but when the NFS server had the added background performance issue of raid metadata...

    Q: Snapshots in qcow2 - sanity check

    Hi, I am not super familiar with how this is implemented and meant to work, and I can't find any hints when search forum, so I wanted to briefly ask if anyone can comment. This is on a proxmox latest 8.0.4 host VM is using qcow2 disk format qcow2 is stored on a Proxmox VM storage pool - local...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Hi, just quick update on this thread. I did a bit more work. I managed to get remote DRAC access to console on this server working and this makes it a lot easier to move this along. Tried one hint based on discussion-post here...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Hi donhwyo, thank you for this reply. Very much appreciated. Good to hear the h200 works for someone as intended! I know firmware version is displayed at boot-time but that is a pain if you don't intend to reboot anytime soon. It is part of the messaging that goes by, ie, Dell Logo > CPU...

    Q: ISO installer for 'edge-kernel' proxmox available?

    Hi everyone, I am trying to debug a problem and hoping for a gentle kick in correct direction I'm trying to figure out if there is a pre-cooked proxmox installer ISO that can be downloaded which has "Edge Proxmox Kernel" present in the installer media I ask because - I've got a dell r815 -...

    [SOLVED] proxmox 7 / linux 5.11.22 issue with LSI 2008 controllers?

    just pinging this thread to ask status (2 weeks later I think approx?) I am asking because I'm trying to sort out a new-install proxmox-latest on a Dell R815 with a PERC h700 which also uses mpt3sas driver and I cannot get proxmox to work with the device. Even with addition of kernel boot...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Ping? does anyone have any thoughts comments? I am still baffled why MPT_SAS is so busted on this hardware with more recent linux/proxmox; but it works fine with an ancient Sysrescue/10year old boot media. Thank you. (!!)

    Reclaim disk space in LXC raw images

    A footnote on this thread in case it helps others. I came here via google search quite a while after this was an active thread but still seems relevant. I've got a fairly current (Proxmox 7.4) cluster setup of a few nodes. And I've noted that LXC Containers - if I migrate from one node to...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Hi, here are some photo snips of dmesg / errors from various attempts, with brief text to try to help give context and clarify. these are all with h700 card, and a pair of 1Tb SSD attached with a single raid mirror volume defined. First error ref from Proxmox-latest installer key text error...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Thank you. That is a good suggestion. I agree, my feeling that MPT SAS was expected for me to be "a no brainer, easy good reliable because super standard and extremely well supported". Hence all my frustration with this. With my test work yesterday - On new-current Debian and Proxmox, there is...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    A small followup on this. I banged my head on this problem again today. I thought I was being clever, I got my hands on a nicer H700 raid card which is better version of the h200. I foolishly assumed that the better HW Raid features of the h700 might make it work better. Alas I have the same...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Follow up on this thread. It seems there is a known bug in the megasas config / driver as per discussion here with workaround in theory, If you are using BIOS add it in grub, nano /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet mpt3sas.max_queue_depth=10000" alas for me, I used Debian.12...

    do_start: 1272 Failed to setup container "100" sync_wait: 34 An error occurred in another process (expected sequence number 4) __lxc_start: 2107 Faile

    Ok - thank you. I think it is ok to park this topic unless I get any more issues here in which case I'll be sure to update with a current / relevant log. The system seems to be working well since then so I am pretty sure it was a transitory issue. Thanks! Tim
