    pve-root hardly used - can I reclaim the space?

    I have a small PVE host which is using its disk like this: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/pve-root 95G 6.8G 83G 8% / /dev/sda2 486M 280M 181M 61% /boot /dev/mapper/pve-data 317G 178G 139G 57% /var/lib/vz It would be nice to get...

    Ubuntu guest's xterm.js works, NoVNC just blinks cursor

    I'd like to have the choice between both NoVNC and xterm.js for an Ubuntu 16.04 guest, but for some reason after I configured the serial terminal for xterm.js, NoVNC stopped working. When I start a session with it, I just see a blinking cursor in the top left of the window and I can't connect...

    [SOLVED] Why is my data LV almost full and does it matter?

    I've just noticed that if I go to Host > Disks > LVM in my management console, it says that /dev/sda3 is almost full. Yet the datacenter summary screen reports lots of spare storage available (about 50% free). Should I be worried or is this normal? EDIT ---- OK so reading the docs on LVM...

    Container network running but no external access

    I've been running VMs on PVE fine, but not tried using containers before. When I start up a container (using a static IPv6 WAN address and static IPv4 LAN), the networking appears to be OK inside the container, but I can't ping anything other than the gateway and the DNS server IP's. And the...

    Convert Directory storage to lvm-thin?

    I have a PVE host which was originally installed on PVE v3 with Directory type storage for local disk images. It is now running 5.3-5. I would like to have the disk images stored on lvm-thin so that I can trim them (the disks are .raw images). Is there a way of doing this that doesn't involve...

    [SOLVED] Does dir storage support thin provisioning?

    Reading the docs on storage, it says: "A number of storages, and the Qemu image format qcow2, support thin provisioning. " It doesn't actually tell you which storages support thin provisioning, but I can I assume that dir storage does not (unless the images stored on it are qcow2)?

    Firewall - what am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to set some firewall rules at the guest level but they aren't being applied (see system information attached). This is what I have right now: /etc/pve/firewall/cluster.fw: [OPTIONS] enable: 1 policy_in: DROP [IPSET management] # Identifies the LAN 10.10.10.0/24 [RULES] GROUP admin...

    Disconnecting WAN on one VM also disconnects it on others?

    Using PVE 4.4-22/2728f613 with the following config for a Linux VM: net0: virtio=C2:75:29:81:BE:D4,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1 net1: virtio=36:DE:0C:03:12:1B,bridge=vmbr1 net0 is the WAN interface, which I need to disconnect. However, when I do (using the PVE GUI) the WAN on another VMs goes down...

    [SOLVED] How to enable firewall on a VM?

    I'm running PVE 4.4-22 and want to enable the firewall on one of my VMs so that it drops all but some ports on its WAN network interface. Using the GUI, I have enabled the firewall on the datacenter, at node 'host' and on the VM. The input policy on the VM is DROP. I have also enabled the...

    PVE host: what is /boot/grub/device.map trying to do?

    I've got a weird problem with a PVE host machine that refuses to reboot without me having to explicitly choose the boot device from the BIOS. Looking for clues on this I see /boot/grub/device.map contains the following. Does anyone know what this is trying to do? (hd0)...

    If you are running PVE 4.4, please can you post your host's fstab and grub defaults so I can compare with mine? Thanks.

    Host not rebooting - fstab/grub problem?

    TL;DR: Can somebody post their hosts's fstab and grub defaults so I can compare with mine? - thanks. Background to the problem: I've been running PVE on a Dell R220 machine for about three years, and upgraded from PVE 4.3 to 4.4 without any issues. Recently however, when rebooting the host...

    Does proxmox-ve package update require a reboot?

    I'm assuming that if proxmox-ve package installs a kernel module (does it?) then the host needs rebooting if I install an update to that package. Is that right?

    Plans for supporting software raid?

    I note from the roadmap that software raid support isn't mentioned. I know that it's possible to do it by installing PVE in a standard Debain install, but that's not supported. Will PVE ever get software raid support in the future? I ask because costs for co-location are increasingly being...

    [SOLVED] Resizing disk raw virtio disk doesn't work

    I have have a RAW virtio disk which is running as a partition for an Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS VM. I wanted to make it bigger, so I used the PVE web GUI's "resize disk" command, which reported the resize went OK.I then rebooted the guest, and ran resize2fs on the partition, but it said there was...

    [SOLVED] ipv6 firewall macros?

    I'd like to specify ipv6 firewall rules, but I can't seem to be able to without using the ipv6 protocol settings and doing them all manually - is that right? SOLVED: Looks like I needed to have an IPv6 address and loopback configured on the host. I was then able to just select "ipv6" from the...

    Confused: apt says PVE needs upgrading to the same version as I already have?

    If I do a pveversion -v, I get: proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-156 (running kernel: 2.6.32-39-pve) but if I do an apt-get upgrade, I get: The following packages will be upgraded: proxmox-ve-2.6.32 pve-cluster pve-kernel-2.6.32-39-pve 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded...

    What interface should I enable the Datacentre firewall on?

    I'm using PVE 3.4-6 I'd like to firewall off all ports that I don't need on a couple of MVs. Looking at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_Firewall, I think (but I'm not sure) that I need to add rules to enable the PVE admin UI and ssh first though. So I've set up a security group called...

    Confused about proxmox-ve versions and kernels

    If apt-get currently shows that: The following packages have been kept back: proxmox-ve-2.6.32 While pveversion -v shows: proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-150 (running kernel: 2.6.32-37-pve) pve-manager: 3.4-6 (running version: 3.4-6/102d4547) pve-kernel-2.6.32-32-pve: 2.6.32-136...

    Feature request: make it clear in GUI that host is running out of disk space

    I'm a newbie to KVM, but have been running Proxmox for a few months without any problems - in fact the more I realise how awesome Proxmox is, the more I'm in awe of the developers! However, I've just had what appeared to me to be some kind of hardware failure on the host. My VMs were reporting...
