    Container restore expectation management?

    Hi news, Thank you for your reaction! The hardware I listed is PBS (1 GBit copper) , so ballpark about half the performance of your unit. I just found the culprit: besides creating an LV for the container to live in in the assigned storage, it also creates an image in /var/lib/vz/images in...

    Container restore expectation management?

    Hi all, Over an hour and a half ago I started a restore task of a 400 GB container backup. Up to now, restores have been of VMs and containers in the lower tens of GB range, which would ramble for a while and then complete. This one just 'sits there': recovering backed-up configuration...

    Errors when creating or deleting a VM snapshot

    That's a worthy cause! Yes, indeed, BTRFS is the file system. Other popular options would have been ZFS, XFS or ext4. Is this the situation: Proxmox: hostname = mediaserver one harddisk default Proxmox installation with LVM guest: hostname = Immich_VM type = VM (not container) under...

    Proxmox boots into busybox, unable to import rpool

    I'd boot a live distro and see whether the pool can be brought up using regular methods, before staying stuck trying it from initramfs. I presume you don't have an alternative (older) kernel to boot from where the boot configuration is not messed up?

    Moving container on LVM thin volume to smaller storage

    Mostly things are fine, though a bit on the slower side, with HDDs. Migration to faster aggregated storage is the reason for the exercise in the first place. Unfortunately, I woke up to a failed backup, and running fsck gives quite a few suggestions for repair. As to be expected, reported...

    Moving container on LVM thin volume to smaller storage

    Wohoo! The shrink-operation (crosspost for details) has completed, stats are returning, backup is running, and I'm winding down.

    [SOLVED] HELP! Cancel lvresize ? --> just wait ....

    Solved! "DELLE", as I recall the solution is called in German :p After waiting for half a day and then fretting for hours. With help of an AI, I got some idea of the state of the process, but things were not actually moving a lot. Until they did, then all of a sudden the operation was over...

    Proxmox boots into busybox, unable to import rpool

    That indeed.... The screenshot shows lilliputter lettersoup without zooming, or no more than six 3 cm lettes when zooming in, I was not able to read anything on it :p For me too, good night!

    Proxmox boots into busybox, unable to import rpool

    Hi Boerny41, Would it be an option to netboot.xyz or a USB stick to boot a live distro and write a new GRUB? Take care of course to include ZFS if it does not come with the booted distro.

    [SOLVED] Get my VM back

    Hi digamman, Welcome to the forums! That must have been quite a scare, good that your storage survived! Some questions: Why did you need to reinstall Proxmox after losing the network? I guess your original install was on LVM on nvme0n1p3 Do you have experience with LVM? If not: run...

    Errors when creating or deleting a VM snapshot

    Hi Balcony7199, Welcome to the forums! What filesystem is your VM on, and what is the storage layout? In the mean time, how pressing is the issue? Do you still have access to the VM, or is it locked in turned off state? Do you have a backup of the photos if worst comes to worst?

    [SOLVED] HELP! Cancel lvresize ? --> just wait ....

    Hi all, Sorry for crossposting My main container (mail, messaging, calendar, phone backup) is offline (and has been for some 10 hours) due to resizing the LV from 3,6 TB to 0,4 TB. This is an LV on a thin pool; it has previously been filled to about 3 TB before I moved most data to other...

    Moving container on LVM thin volume to smaller storage

    Slight worry is setting in. The transaction is still running. It put an exclusive lock on everything LVM, and also prevents the volume from being mounted read-only. I never had trouble shrinking an LV before, but this is the first time it involves thin pools. Without any feedback from the...

    two node setup with local Dell R600 series storage with replication

    If you want to use HW RAID, ZFS is off the charts. LVM is fine, especially if your current environment is on LVM as well. People love ZFS for the ease with which advanced features are available, such as checksumming, RAID, caching, deduplication and volume management, but these can be used on...

    FC SAN cluster in proxmox

    Hi n10ev, Welcome to the forums! While it's not my place to answer for nbaniks situation: if they're migrating from an existing VMWare deployment, the hardware is already in place. Replacing (high cost) fibre channel equipment with (lower, but still high cost for performance) ethernet...

    FC SAN cluster in proxmox

    In addition to the answers to your specific question, seeing you joined a while back but did not post a lot here: for many "is ... supported" questions, it is good to realize that Proxmox runs on top of Debian. Even if Proxmox does not provide a direct interface, if it is supported on Debian...

    Severe kernel panics are occurring

    The screenshot is to small to easily read or copy/paste, so it may totally not be related, but not mentioned is everyone's nr 1 checkpoint (memtest), and what kind of memory you run. I suppose it's ECC (because Ryzen/ZFS), but Asus shouts "Overclocking FTW".
