    [SOLVED] local-zfs lost after joining cluster

    Hi I have an existing proxmox 6.4 node with containers and vms which I have converted to a cluster to add a new node. This original node is using local-lvm thin for the guests (so basically I have local and local-lvm storages). The new node is having ZFS storage, one single raidz1, and I see on...

    LXC containers shows host's load average

    Hi there. I remember reading in another thread in this forum that. this was not an Proxmox issue but some kind of bugs between lxcfs and cgroups2 or something like that but I am now unable to find the thread. For me, as all my containers are monitored from custom agents inside the container for...

    Continuously increasing memory usage until oom-killer kill processes

    @mathx Thanks very much for the workaround. I am a little reluctant to do this on a production server, but to be honest having to restart containers on a weekly basis is really a problem, so I will check this out.

    Continuously increasing memory usage until oom-killer kill processes

    Same problem here, all my containers are silently taking more memory in cache until oom-kill kicks in. This happens in all my containers but in pve6. In my case, restarting systemd-journald did not help, however reducing journals log size increased the available memory by the same size I...

    Recommendations for a container with high tcp connections?

    Simply put, because we do not have the knowledge yet, but thanks for the tip

    Recommendations for a container with high tcp connections?

    Both performance and flexibility. VM take a performance hit compare to containers and we would like to avoid it. Also containers are fully deployed automatically via ansible in most of the cases; if we need an extra "server" we just provision a new container in a couple of minutes in...

    Recommendations for a container with high tcp connections?

    Hi i am planning to migrate a virtual server from VM to LXC on my production cluster. This VM is currently having about 30K active tcp connections on peaktime which is no big issue for a vm, but, is there any specific recommendations or concerns for LXC guest or Node host in order to deal with...

    DELL PERC H750 advice

    Hi have not tried H750 sorry, but I am using H720P in all my servers, 14 Dell R620 and the Perc works ok. I do not see any reason why it should not as long as the linux kernel recognizes it, in any case.

    Swap not detected in all lxc containers in a node

    Hi all I have a 3 node-cluster for my development environment, all three nodes are basically same hardware. Cluster is pve6 and all lxc containers are centos7. In one of the nodes, all the containers have 0 swap memory, no matter what the configured amount is for any lxc. The main node las 16GB...

    LXC containers shows host's load average

    Hi all After having the same problem and fixing it as described in this post, now i have the opposite one; the load inside the container is propagated to the host. I have a 4 cpu container which launches 70 threads, most of them waiting for cpu to be available. The container is using the 4...

    [SOLVED] Host OOM killing containers and KVM, but plenty of RAM available

    Thanks both. I have been doing a lot of digging and test into this: The first conclusion is Memory Usage chart in Proxmox WebUI is misleading as it does not reflect shared memory. As @Dunuin mentioned shared memory is not free memory, but as not shown in the chart I was heavily...

    [SOLVED] Host OOM killing containers and KVM, but plenty of RAM available

    Hi I have a 3 node cluster as development environment; all the nodes are basically 200GB RAM, 48 cores dell R620. I have found recently that in one of the nodes, OOM is killing always the same daemon running inside an lxc container and also a VM. The host has a lot of empty ram, taking a...

    Any recommendations for very Intensive cpu and networking KVM?

    Hi i am going to deploy proxysql in my Proxmox cluster, it will be done using KVM and not lxc in order to be able to use VRRP to get H/A between several VMS in different nodes of the cluster. Is there any recommendation to the VM hardware setup, the Proxmox node itself or the VM configuration...

    [SOLVED] LXCs are showing question mark. Node is showing Green, KVMs are showing green

    Hi I have a 2 node cluster with pve6.2, it is working ok, both nodes are showing the green tick and i can connect to both via ssh or via webUI. Nodes can see each other in the networking. In one node all LXC containers are showing a question mark under a grey circle. However the containers are...

    Cloning a container does not respect Linux Access Time

    Hi there I have a LXC container which uses last access time to implement sort of LRU image cache; images not accessed in X days are automatically deleted. I have cloned the container, moved into another PMX node, shutdown the original one, and start the cloned container in the PMX, but the...
