Just read in the news that OpenZFS is introduced. Any plans to use it in the PVE 6.4 (?) or maybe it will be possible to use it as it be delivered over Debian upgrades?

From what I can see on one of my hosts, there are no such ports as "bridge-ports". May I mistook your naming and it is there, named differently? Here is what I have (a bit filtered to hide IPs and have it shorter): root@host-one:~# ifconfig | grep mtu eno1...

This is onboard NIC which lists this way: 1c:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X722 for 1GbE (rev 09) 1c:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X722 for 1GbE (rev 09) What kind of info should I collect more for you?

Sorry, I must be misexpress my problem. I do not need to monitor each VM interface. Instead, I messed up with only total "uplink" traffic graph. So to say, I don't care for PVE host internal traffic, but want to know how much external (= WAN) traffic is used and may this bandwidth be limited by...

As we moved to PVE 6.2 (just several hosts, not huge install), we noticed that Windows server VMs we used to run on PVE are to see sudden NIC stop working. The fix is really simple: set NIC to not connected (no link) in PVE web interface, apply changes, the connect it again and apply again - all...

As I try to gather PVE node stats with Zabbix I found I can not get real port usage for physical port that faces the WAN link. Vmbr0 stats seems to show only own node usage, but I need whole link usage (own node plus all of VMs usage). Silly question I know but can’t fond a way. Vmbr0 vs switch...

Sounds like I have no chance to use CPU assisted hardware crypto acceleration? Maybe Intel type NIC may help? Sad to know we all have quite capable CPUs nowadays and still stick with software crypto. And no, I can not bind physical NIC to this VM only.

I need to set up VM to be used as router which will also do IPSec encryption. Since new CPUs are all crypto acceleration capable, I really wonder which is the best VM hardware I should choose to have it employed. I suspect I’ll set up CPU of “host” type, but what about VM NICs? If virtio NIC...

It is so ordinary question but I can't find a 'official' way to implement it: I installed PBS on existing PVE server, and would like to use LE's https certificate o PBS web interface. I was quite surprised there is still no web-based certificate acquire interface but I understand this is not...

Used to rent servers (only a few, not that many) in datacenter, all under PVE and run perfectly well. Nowadays it is good choice to rent SSDs to put VMs on, and so we choose hardware raid with bbu to create mirrors out of SSDs (it is used to be megaraids) but... I never can find a wayto check...

Yes, looks like a solution. But what if my (Exim) server will temporarily be offline? The all these checks be failed, and the results will be cached. But wait, if I'd have LDAP, it won't help in my question, it'll be the same 'Receiver Verification' only?

Hello, I try to set up PMG as a mail filtering system in front of my mail server (which is Exim+dovecot based). My Exim uses domain and user lists stored at Postgres (no LDAP), and I really wonder if PMG can get mail lists from Postgres (or via some kind of HTTP API requests) from my server...

I have several hosts with really dated PVE versions (2.1 and 4.3, 4.4). Now I have several new servers to put Proxmox on and about to copy VMs to these new hosts. VMs are quite big and I can’t do that at days, only and nights. But I have a gigabit network between hosts so I really wonder if I...

Actually no, HA is not a priority for us, we can afford as long as 1 hour before run the backup VMs in different DC which is plenty for check the rsynced data copy and restore one on backup DB VM. But what can we use in out situation other that zfssync? Looks like CEPH or DRBD may use even more...

Nice thing to have, but out of budget for us.

I have several servers rent in two datacenters. This is done to overcome DC outages (which is rare case but still happens), and so we'd like to have data from one DC to be copied to second one so we can use it to run reserved VMs with that data. The data itself is Postgresql databases and...

If I have only one LVM (not LVM-Thin) volume to use on Proxmox host, is there any rules to follow when create it? From the old days I recall that one should leave some % of VG space free so snapshot can be made if I do snapshot-type backup of running VM - is it true? So to say, in my old days...

I really wondered if VM with 2 sockets / 4 cores is better vs VM with 1 socket / 8 cores. i think overhead of having 2 sockets is noticeable so 1s/8cis easier for OS to manage. May there be any real recommendations on that? Thank you for advices!

I played with ZFS a bit and found you need to be quite proficient with it and understand what'll be with it over next several years (say, ZFS never care for fragmentation but suffers when its rate grows, too). So a bit risky, while quite like magic FS, really.

Thank you for pointing that number, really. 10% is a number to consider! Windows is plain Terminal Server host (many users at once - we try to test how our software is run in Terminal under load), while FreeBSD is used to run Postgres database. Seems to me raw be better choice (no containers be...
