Hey all, I'm having some user/group type permissions difficulties with the LXC container bind mounts. I'm using the "manual method" as described in this Proxmox Wiki entry. When setting up NFS mounts there are several "squash" options you can use to force all users to use the same user ID /...

so, I wound up taking a slightly different approach to this usng X2go. This does not require any xserver or xvfb running on the guest. First I installed LXDE in my Ubuntu container using apt-get, but with the --no-install-recommends option, so it doesn't pull in the entire X server which is...

Mine is built into a Norco RPC-4216 (with optional 120mm fan wall) Here is an older pic (case is still the same though) Full specs are as follows: Case Norco RPC-4216 (with optional 120mm fan wall) Motherboard: Supermicro X8DTE CPU's: 2x Intel Xeon L5640 (6 cores, 12 logical with HT each...

I agree this would be a good idea. It would definitely simplify things for those of us who need to use driver modules not already included with the distribution.

Thank you, that is very helpful! I plan to sett the following tunables in order to improve l2arc caching (at the expense of SSD lifespan, but nothing lasts forever :p ) l2arc_noprefetch 0 l2arc_write_boost 134217728 l2arc_write_max 67108864 One of my containers is a media server, and I am...

Hey all, While I've been using ZFS for years, I am completely new to it under Linux. I was trying to replicate some performance tuning I'd done successfully on BSD, where "tunables" are added to /boot/loader.conf Problem is, I couldn't seem to figure out where these "tunables" go on ZFS on...

Thanks for that, it is very helpful. I knew this to be the case for every Linux distribution I've used. What I didn't know was if I'd break anything proxmox specific if I started tinkering with default swap locations. This is a very good point. Increased disk use by swapping out of RAM...

I'm guessing you'd be concerned about the system going down in case of drive corruption in areas used by active swap? I'm not terribly concerned about this. If I were running a production high availability server I would, but this is just a home server. I only mirror the boot drive to save...

IMHO, for server applications you'll probably want APC's true sine wave enterprise/professional models marketed as "Smart UPS", not the lower end client models with stepped approximation, typically named "Back Ups". APC used to be the best IMHO, but they have gone downhill since Schneider...

Hi all, So when I installed proxmox to my two main install SSD's in a ZFS mirrored configuration, I did not realize that it would be creating a swap partition on the ZFS drives. (I should have, because one is needed, and where else would it, go, but I just didn't think of it) My two main...

Ahh, thank you for that. While I use Debian based distributions all day every day, it's been a while since I used Debian proper, so I didn't realize they had dropped the binary blob from their repositories. Their argument seems to be that nouveau is good enough now, but I strongly disagree...

Thank you very much. Follow up question: My plan is to have an LXC container display output directly to a physical Nvidia GPU as part of a video server displaying content. My plan was originally to just use apt-get to install the nivida binary blob from the debian packages and use it, but it...

Hey all, So I am looking to compile some driver modules for my proxmox box. I've been able to install GCC and make via apt, but I can't seem to figure out the package name for the Proxmox kernel sources. Does anyone know what I need to install in order to get this up and running, so I can...

Yeah, so I spent several hours on this yesterday. I fixed the firmware issue like you mentioned above, but in retrospect that was only impacting the bnf module (fiber channel) not the bna module (ethernet) so it didn't have any impact for me. I tried disabling TX checksumming like you...
