Hi Jim! Sorry for misquoting you, so much so that you had to create an account to correct me! Apart from recommending another drive, would you have any idea as to why my Windows VM still is unable to perform well? To clarify a bit, it is not the OS drive which misbehaves*, but the extra (D...

I finally got around to buying a new pair of SSDs -- Kingston KC600 1TB TLC. I've heard that they should be good drives, and if I am not mistaken they have also been recommended by Jim Salter on the 2.5Admins podcast. However, while the experience did improve with much fewer lock-ups and overall...

I see -- I had no idea about this limitation! Is there some technical explanation as to why QLC specifically makes it incompatible with ZFS? I have seen some talk about why (HDD) SMR does not work, but not QLC. Thanks for that! I did not know any specifics about ZFS caching. But in my case, is...

Most likely, yes. The two SATA drives were quite cheap (Insenso brand, if that says anything), so would likely be QLC. But would it become this slow, to the point that transfers actually stop while data is written out to the nand cells?

I recently re-setup my workstation (Ryzen 5900X, 64GB RAM) with Proxmox and a primary Windows 11 VM with GPU (GTX 1080) passthrough. While most things seem to work just fine overall, I have been having some trouble getting reliable throughput to the underlying disks. There are 3 disks: 1 NVMe...

Getting back to my own question, I recently found that `keyctl` requires `root@pam` access in order to be enabled. I guess this in turn matches some very high privileges? Would it be possible to put the LXC features behind a separate, specific privilege that could be assigned to, e.g., a...

Thanks for that! I posted a question there as well :) Even so, do you know -- or know where to look, for that matter -- which privileges are required to affect features of LXC containers? Regardless of if I'm using Terraform or not.

Hi! I've tried setting up my Proxmox homelab using Terraform for some time now, and while I have something I am quite happy with (overly complicated, that is), I have never been able to figure out how to set different "features" for newly spawned LXCs. I have created a dedicated Terraform user...

In general I would agree. The comments don't do anything really, they're added by Ansible so that it knows which part it should keep up-to-date. So for all updates it will basically do what I do manually now, but whereas I rely on finding my lines with regex, Ansible would instead be able to...

All right, I'm a little lost. First, do mp0 support the use of rbind? I thought the only way to use rbind was to use lxc.mount.entry, but I haven't tested the former. Second, the problem I had with Ansible was that only the blockinfile module would allow me to add several mounts in bulk and keep...

Thanks, then I know what to expect. I would have no problem using mp0 etc., but as far as I have understood it this notation does not support rbind as of yet? Or is the feature request about something else? I'm trying to attach ZFS datasets to LXC containers, and get permission problems when...

Ah, I see. I like that you implemented markdown support in the notes panel -- that makes it more useful! However, I'm not sure that it works for my use case, since I want to control the mounts via a separate tool and not just keep notes about it. You mentioned API -- is there a way to edit the...

I've never written Perl -- I have barely read Perl either for that matter -- but I spent just a few minutes giving it a quick try. And again, not saying that I know anything about the rest of the code base, there could be multiple pitfalls here, of course, but would something like this work...

Ah, I can't say that I am qualified to determine if there are any security implications, but from the little I can find the basis is the same as regular mount, only that it is performed multiple times to include bindable subdirectories. For future googlers, a description of rbind can be found in...

I can understand that you'd rather have me use the CLI interface, but in case of rbind there is currently no support with your own notation. Instead I have to use the config file by itself and add it manually. One idea would be to provide two kinds of notes/comments in the file -- one that...

I would like to necro this old thread because it's basically the only relevant question I've found on these forums. Is there really still no way to make inline comments in the .conf files? I'm using Ansible (blockinfile) to add mounts to a LXC configuration, but the wrapping comment section is...

I did, and it just shows one of the mounts. Attaching just the problematic one does not show up in either command. However, I tried to just attach the root /Tank2 instead of the sub-dataset and that works. When then adding the other mountpoint, /storage/appdata, that one shows up as well. So...

Oh, sorry, I misinterpreted your comment; I thought you wanted to tell me that it ended up in /. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue though? I can't see anything in /var/log/messages that indicates where the issue is. Something is going wrong in the mounting process, but I can't find...

Nope, can't find it anywhere. When the mountpoint is removed, however, the files in /storage/media remains. So I guess the mountpoint never was attached correctly in the first place? I've tried both with and without '/'. The only difference I noticed was when I initially attempted to mount it...

Hi I'm trying to setup my new environment, but have ran into some permission issues. I thought myself quite well-versed in the permissions' department by now, given all the issues I've had to solve before, but this one has left be dumbfounded. On the host side I have several ZFS datasets that...
