It's so slow compared to NFS. Like less than 1/4 the performance in my testing with FIO. I want to use it because it seems like a cleaner implementation on how to share files with the host. But, I cannot take that big of a performance hit. Shame really. DIRECT: server:/mnt/server1:# show disk...

What's the point of ZFS snapshots if only the very last one can be rolled back to? Seems kind of pointless.

I have a 5 node cluster that has been in production for more than 5 years now. Since PVE6, I'm starting to see things like this in my VM config files: [^A^@^@^@^@^@^@&^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@nodes/lphxpve16/qemu-server/1150.conf^@agent: 1 balloon: 0 boot: dcn bootdisk: virtio0 cores: 15 ide2...

I'm on PVE 6.0.4. Great job on this release. The upgrade was relatively painless for me. I have a bunch of VMs under HA management. I bulk migrate these HA VMs from one host to another and set the Parallel Jobs value to 1 or more. All VMs are moved at once and the Parallel Jobs restriction is...

Hi, Why are network bridges, both OVS and Linux, configured at the host level and not at the Datacenter level? To me, bridges should be configured at the Datacenter level so that the bridge definitions can be shared by all clustered hosts within the Datacenter. I understand that physical NICs...

We are in the process of deploying Cisco ACI at my company. ACI supports virtual network integration with VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, and OpenStack via API calls. Since PVE provides an API for cluster management, it sure would be nice to also have PVE support in ACI. I realize that this request may...

It would be nice to have GUI support for creating VXLANs when using OVS. VMWare does this with their NSX product. PVE has the capability to do this when used with OVS but currently provides no GUI support for it. Is it planned to incorporate this feature? It has the potential to be pretty...

After recently having some slowness issues with my VMs, I decided to convert all their disk formats from qcow2 to raw. With raw disks I now have no more slowness issues with any of my VMs. Even though snapshots are not supported for raw disks on a non-cow filesystem, the speed difference I...

I'm on the latest version of Proxmox. I have a VM with 5 virtio disks. When I snapshot, with or without RAM included, the VM, it is unreachable for about 5 minutes. I can reproduce it every single time I take a snapshot. I've read other posts about similar circumstances. Is it still not...

Hi, I've recently upgraded my network stack to 10 gig. I've added "migration_unsecure: 1" to /etc/pve/datacenter.cfg and now live migrations routinely see over 600MBps. Writing directly from the hosts using dd to the nfs shared storage also sees 600MBps. However, when clicking on the "move...

Hi, It would be nice to have a global scheduler. Something at the Datacenter level that would allow me to schedule tasks for all hosts in a cluster. A "global crontab", if you will. Regards, micush

I would like to set up a .1q trunk to a VM, so that the VM does the VLAN tagging, not the host server. Is it possible?

I have a script that automatically creates and deletes snapshots for all VMs in a FIFO fashion. For almost all of my VMs this works as expected. For some of my larger VMs I end up with something like this: I can then go in and delete the deleted snapshots by clicking on the 'Remove' button...

In Proxmox 4.2, if I attempt to add a firewall security group to a VM it does not allow me to select the security group. The group is there and can be chosen, but it is not allowed to populate the field. To reproduce, go to [Datacenter] -> [Firewall] -> [Security Group] and create a new one...

Hi, In PVE4.0b2 if I have a VM managed by HA, and then I disable HA on that VM, the VM is then powered off. I do not recall seeing this behavior in PVE4.0b1. Can it be reverted back to the original behavior please of not powering off when disabling HA on the VM? Regards, m

Hi, Spice over IPv6 on PVE 4.0 beta 1 does not appear to work. It isn't listening on my hosts: ~# netstat -ntlp | grep spiceproxy tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3128 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7140/spiceproxy And when I try to connect to it I get: Could not connect to proxy...

Seeing as how neither NFS session trunking or pNFS is supported in Proxmox, I was faced with an interesting question as to how to provide multiple parallel links to my NFS storage for both load distribution and path redundancy. From experience, switch level port aggregation with or without LACP...

On Proxmox 4.0 beta, a VM with iothread enabled on a virtio disk causes the VM to crash during a vzdump snapshot backup. I can reproduce it every single time on 5 different hosts backing up to either NFS or a local disk, whether it is a scheduled backup or an immediate backup.
