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...

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...

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?

Great that you solved it, thanks for posting back the cause of the issue and updating the thread!

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...

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

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...

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!

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.

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...

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?

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...

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...

@Johannes S , thanks for adding those threads. I knew they exist, but couldn't find the links immediately!

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...

Thanks again! pkill fstrim runtime less than a second, no output pct unlock 104 slight pauze, ok with no output PVE had a as stale mount of the volume in /var/lib/lxc/104/roofs, manually unmounted pve fsck 104 ran less than a minute, states "clean" lvresize -tvr -L 400G...

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...

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...

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".

Hi mws, Welcome to the forums! As with many things, there is not one 'correct', and mostly 'it depends'. I've always been very happy LVM, and with thin volumes as well. ZFS is beckoning, but for better or worse, I have resisted the call. Even though ZFS is no 'must to do', there are very...
