It's definitely doable, I would suggest another VM with Open media Vault to be used for sharing the drive over the network. Having said that, shared storage tends to become more vital the more it's utilised, so even for starting out I would be looking at redundant drives & some form of backup...

That will work, but then you loose the redundant drives, one failure and your data is gone. I have 2x TrueNAS running, but when I just wanted to pass some USB drives through for basic storage, I found the OMV in a VM was the most solid solution, that after testing various LXC files servers and...

Issue resolved. As per the post, I had to both upgrade the firmware on the SATA controller AND set Rombar to off (where it defaults to on) in order for the kernel 6.14 or later to allow the VM to fully boot. I should have recognised this fault as I have had the same on another TrueNAS install...

Just a brief update on this TrueNAS VM issue. Today I decide to build a fresh TrueNAS VM with the host on kernel 6.17.4-1 and I am unable to get the VM to boot for installation, and with the passthrough devices attached the system would not boot. I pinned the issue down to the ASM1166 SATA...

The system is booting into TrueNAS, I can hear the sequence of the drives as the zfs initializes them. The problem appears to me as no network access to the TrueNAS VM, not via the web, the console or the network shares. The VM is using the same virtio NIC driver as the other guests. The only...

I have those installed, but as I said, the bolt command fails to detect my thunderbolt dock or the graphics card installed. The same dock works on a Windows laptop with thunderbolt 4 and if I use the Oculink port for a PCI connection. It's all very strange.

Sorry it's taken so long, it's not easy to take the TrueNAS down for diagnosis here. I think there has been an update to kernel 6.17.2-2 since my last update. And this is the log from VM boot: Dec 14 17:12:49 pve-5 pvestatd[2344]: status update time (9.508 seconds) Dec 14 17:13:00 pve-5...

How did you get thunderolt to authorize, whatever 'bolt' command I use, returns nothing, and I never get the device file /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices populated. Can you post you modules and blacklists.?

Hi glockmane, Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I'm stuck on the passthrough of a Thunderbolt5 egpu dock to and AMD based system too.

As I understand it the sensors data is already available via Proxmox api, Pulse Monitor manages to pull the info for the CPU and NVMe at least.

Why couldn't you achieve that from the GUI itself? Is it due to the SMB1/2 restrictions??

The question is what is it that you are trying to achieve there? As in which servers/applications do you have in mind to run on the system.? Also I assume that you do not have an unlimited budget, in which case I would forget about the enterprise SSD's and focus on the creation of a solid...

Why are you trying to do this.??? Why not just setup the disk as an SMB share and have Windows access that shared folder.? That share can than also be added to the Proxmox data storage and and anywhere else you need to access it from.

I have a HP G4 in operation as a node in my cluster, the mini or tiny PC's are great for someone just starting out and learning the ropes. They are available used for $100 or less, yet provide enough grunt for people to learn the system and what they really need specs wise, before going out and...

Proxmox is all about the stability of the system, above all else. Real corporations are depending on this system to run the IT of their business, so no, the dashboard shouldn't be editable. Pay for the subscription will get rid of the 'nag' and at the same time reward the developers for...

No, it's not possible and if you do find a way no-one else will be using such a system, so you won't get any support or online help. I think that the G6 boxes have a PCI slot for the wifi card, so you can switch the wifi for 2.5 or 5Gbe PCIe network adapters. At some stage you are going to need...

I understand that those are best practices, but those specs are difficult or too costly for most who are building a homelab, remember that for most it's just a hobby or a learning tool, so the costs matter.

Yeah, that will be fine for the boot drive. Not sure what system you'll be running the setup on, but for a homelab, you really want to be running the VM's / CT's guest on SSD or better NVMe drives, SATA drive are just too slow for anything apart from media data storage. How many drives can...

Are you able to set the Buffalo as a PVE storage device? If so you can select which types of storage that is advertised as within the PVE environment. i.e. backup / OSO store / templates etc. A PVE storage device can use any of the common shared storage protocols.

NAS system 'need' control of the complete disk. You therefore need to pass the drives (or better the controller) through to whatever NAS implementation you use, and then share the space to your servers/applications. That is the correct method, though I prefer TrueNAS running in a VM to running...
