    I have a windows VM and i'm running crystal disk benchmark in it, and during the benchmark the VM does a soft-lockup. This is repeatable in my environment. I'm running the latest version of PVE 8.1.11, kernel 6.5.13-5-pve, and ceph reef version 18.2.2 What i mean by a soft lockup is: If task...

    Alternative backup method for containers with big disk images?

    So i've seen a few posts on this, and that as it currently stands containers are hard to back up quickly. Per my understanding the backup client has to scan the entire "disk" every time you want to make an incremental backup, unlike a vm where it has the dirty-bitmap. I have a container that...

I plan on converting it over to ubuntu server, but all the docker configs are pretty old and would not come up under ubuntu a lot of errors about depreciated commands, so i decided to migrate the machine...

    this happens any time i have set intel_iommu=on even if I have no pci devices passed through and the respective vm off, and pci pass through does work. It happens consistently about 15-30 minutes after boot, while watching top i see some system processes on the host start to eat up over 100%...
