I think this subject has been commented before but i have not found any directly related posts or documentation. In our case we use mainly LXC containers mainly for the sake of being able to share certain paths from the hosts across various containers. We either use templates or restore a...

I have to admin me and proxmox-boot-tool do not get on very well We have migrated a system to a fresh install of pve 8.2 on a 4th nvme disk from scratch (iso install). We have now completed the process, repartioned the "old" 3 nvme disks and add them to the rpool. So far so good. With equal...

I understand the use of variables in LXC container files is not possible, so this entry is likely intended as a suggestion unless someone explains a documented way to do it. They are actually related to bind mounts. The main one is related to being able to use something like "${VMID}" in conf...

We are migrating a working server from LVM to ZFS (pve 8.2). The system currently has 3 NVMe 1Tb disk, and we have added a new 2Tb one. As we haven't found a clear/easy way to migrate the running system, and on the other hand, we are stuck with an issue with kernel updates too, we thought...

We are trying to migrate a running server from LVM disks to ZFS. In order to avoid booting issues and assuming there is no easy migration process we considered installing a clean PVE 8.2 on a new disk, in order to later try to migrate the root configuration, recreate a thin partition over ZFS...

On a clean new PVE install we are having some repeting issues with failing logins with system users. Journal shows: Aug 12 18:00:00 m24 pvedaemon[279146]: authentication failure; rhost=::ffff:79.XXX.XX.95 user=luison@pam msg=cfs-lock 'authkey' error: got lock request timeout systemctl status...

Hi, we've never used pve-firewall and now trying to consider it for a server. This is an OVH installation so we have a host IP and additional ones assigned to a KVM. I did some testing but none of the rules applied to the KVM itself seemed to work. At the host level they worked but only after a...

We've just upgraded a server to PVE8 from Vo7. All went smooth but I am rather uncertain of why the kernel is not being updated. proxmox-boot-tool kernel list Manually selected kernels: 5.3.10-1-pve Automatically selected kernels: 5.15.158-2-pve 6.8.8-4-pve proxmox-boot-tool status...

Hi, currently migrating a local testing server from PVE7 (LVM) to PVE8 ZFS. We have: a new 2TB NVMe disk (blank) 3x1Tb NVMe disks (data including hybrid raid on one partition and PVE vgroup) 1x1Tb SSD disk (data, same as above) Additional HDDs for backup My objective is to create one or two...

Hi, we are having issues with a local server running various NVMe drives and SSDs. The UEFI boot partitions were installed originally to the SSD drives that have been superseeded now by NVMe disks. We just realised that removing the SSD drive leaves the system unbootable as booting from any of...

We are trying to optimize a KVM qm VM by using two assigned thin provisioned disks, one of which we'll not be included in the regular backups so we can speed them up and reduce required space. For this to work we need the KVM to either be able to boot without it, as when we restore the backup...

Hi. New to PBS we are trying to configure a server that syncs backups from two others and retains them for long term. We have created two namespaces as production and staging on that server named "pve-archive" which is syncing correctly. We would now like to be able to access from one of those...

Hi, we've been using our own template (users, signatures, webmin, etc) for new CT based on a previous Debian 8 which we've been updating to 11. In order to have a proper a minimal CT template we started to personalize it again based on PVE's official Debian 11 template since a few things might...

Hi, after a long time and due to an increase in used size of our main thinpool we realised we were having an issue like these: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lvm-horror-proxmox-reports-lvm-thin-full-when-actual-vm-disk-usage-low.108218/#post-464967...

We have a windows 10 server running on a KVM for a while over PVE 6.4-4 We were trying create an updated version with a different W10 version on a new KVM created from scratch. We installed all correctly but after a few days we suddenly noticed that when we boot one of both... the other kvm...

Due to some issues on the system we are considering moving from our lvm over linux raid to lvm-raid configuration. As I understand I can convert any LVM LV to thin I am assumming I can do so too with a mirrored (raid1) LV. Anyone has experience with this setup and implications I should...

We've been struggling for a couple of days with an undetermined issue with corrupted filesystem on our root (LVM /dev/pve/root) and data (LVM /dev/data/home). Suddenly started reporting EXT4 errors till the system became unstable. Nov 30 00:05:52 e20home kernel: [543969.097160] EXT4-fs error...

This might be more an LXC question but I was wondering what are the key forensic commands when the pve server becomes unstable or with a high activity. When running 6-10 containers, how can we have a generic view of their activity together apart from the web interface. I understand there was a...

Hi. I've read the numerous threads regarding apparmor flooding syslog with messages related to actions not allowed to be performed inside containers but can't figure still how to reduce os investigate and only seem to find the solution of ignoring with conf on syslog. In this case is a new PVE6...
