I think the last bit ought to be: of=/dev/zvol/rpool/data/vm-100-disk-1 .. and it worked - many thanks.

I am trying to install a Virtual Box image on to Proxmox. I have converted it to .raw format, created a VM in proxmox of the same size etc, and now need to overwrite the hard drive image on the Proxmox system with the one from Virtual Box (converted to .raw). In the GUI the local-zfs (pve) /...

Thanks, this is hugely useful information, I am trying the change as we speak!

Is there a downside to using these options?

thanks anyway , hopefully there is someone out there who is using backuppc on proxmox or debian.

Yes I could do, but I want to backup to an attached USB drive, and I have discovered that passing the USB drive through to a VM seems to write to the drive very slowly, so up to now I've just VXDumped the VM direct, but really want some incremental backup daily.

I want to use backup pc runing on the proxmox host to backup some of my VMs. I tried a "apt-get install backuppc" and it seemed to run through fine, although the one error I can see is this: "adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/backuppc' does not belong to the user you are currently...

It is possible I have the same error - only in my case it seems to try to write to the CD ROM, I get a "buzz" every few minutes from the server. My server is ZFS based (three drives), plus an SSD as a cache. On latest 5.1. although i feel sure it used to do it on V4 as well..

THis is what file says: volumio-2.348-2017-12-22-x86.img: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0xee, start-CHS (0x0,0,1), end-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), startsector 1, 7987199 sectors I'm trying this on my fedora desktop (I'll try to run it in VirtualBox first) vboxmanage clonemedium disk...

I have a .img file (actually designed to be copied to an SD drive), which I'd like to test in a VM. So I need a procedure that will take that .img and create a VM hard drive file which I can then connect to a VM. Anyone got any ideas?

I've had this while runnning a VM backup (mine takes 18 hours!!) - it sorts itself out as soon as the backup is finished - looks like some sort of timeout due to CPU being busy or IO latency. Latest up to date PVE.

I've re-installed using the 5.1 ISO and did an immediate update. Everything seems to work fine now!

I've tried the qm rescan with no effect. I am unable to operate at the directory level as /rpool/data and /rpool/ROOT/pve-1 "appear" to be empty at command level. Perhaps the mount points have not been setup correctly? The web interface still shows the ISOs and the hard Drive VM file. I've...

I've just built a new proxmox node using the 5.0 build It is based on an array of 3 x 3tb RAIDZ-1 ZFS. However when I try to start m yfirst VM, it fails this way: kvm: -drive file=/dev/zvol/rpool/data/vm-100-disk-1,if=none,id=drive-virtio0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,detect-zeroes=on...

Ok, Reporting that I now have a working Proxmox VE 5 system. I installed on top of Debian stretch. Only slight hitch was that the Debian left the CD as one of the Repositories and I had to comment it out in /etc/apt/sources.list and also it had not pre-loaded the kernel zfs module. Actually I...

MB as I said above - ASUS M4A7BLT-LE am installing onto a 500gb seagate. Have 2 x 2tb Samsung to create a ZFS filestore. Will try the install on top of Debian Stretch today as per: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Stretch

I don't think I am using UEFI the MB and Bios are sufficiently old that it is not an issue (or perhaps it is?). I've looked through the BIOS and there is no mention of UEFI or Video mode in the BIOS. Normally when I try the install I do not see anything on the screen, but once or twice I do...

Thanks for that - however the SVM was NOT set, but I set it and it still failed to install. There is no external Video card / GPU on this system.

I tried a CD install with 4.4 and it also failed to start. I have another system that I have installed 4.4 ok (by CD), and my plan was to move my VMs to this system under 5.5. I am thinking that it may be some sort of BIOS parameter which is stopping it working. I have updated the BIOS to the...

ok, i've tried creating a USB flash drive version of the proxmox iso and using it to install - still no go. I sometimes get "GRUB" in the top left hand corner of the monitor, but nothing. I then tried copying the debian install iso to the USB flash drive and seeing if that would work - and it...
