    How to get vm speed to 10G

    My tests showed that a virtio vnic transferred 12 to 17 Gbps to another vm's virtio, while an e1000 reached 4 Gbps to that same other virtio. Both virtual machines were on the same Proxmox host on vmbr0 with standard proxmox networking (no OVS). The interesting fact is that both the virtio and...

If an admin truly is not smart enough to decide for himself if a disk should be included or excluded in a snapshot, then a lot more will go wrong in his...

    I'm also curious. It would solve the problem running virtual Linux Mint with Cinnamon, which complains that "your system is currently running without video hardware acceleration". Searching the web explained this means there is no 3D acceleration, which apparently is possible to enable in...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox 5.3 Install Fails - Stays at black screen

    I got the same problem, except that mine seems to turn black later on. When I do the debug boot, I need to press ctrl-D twice, but then pretty soon the screen just becomes black and stays black... I did an UEFI boot. Anyone any idea what to do next? I used the latest 6.4 image downloaded just...
