I have a somewhat frustrating situation - I have a ZFS RAID1 which started out life as a single disk, and then a second SSD was added as a mirror after the installation was done. The original failed, and today I learned that a ZFS RAID1 mirror is not actually a mirror - it doesn't actually clone...

Howdy folks. I have been using a Debian LXC with Cockpit with a handful of bind mounts for SMB file share duties, and I recently came to the realisation that my backup strategy is really not ideal now that I have over 20TB of data across various shares. I recently changed my Proxmox Backup...

I have been tasked to move a container onto a new storage location. Moving the volume within the GUI appears to be straightforward operation, but there doesn't seem to be any output whatsoever about statistics such as file transfer rate. Am I missing something? According to the system stats my...

Hello everyone! I have a very unusual issue with getting backups to run with a specific Debian LXC. If any of my ZFS mount points are included as part of the backup, the backup to my Proxmox Backup Server will fail immediately. What is interesting is that only this LXC has issues with this. I...

Howdy folks. For years I have been using ZFS replication, has all worked great, been a happy chap. One of the frustrating things that I recall having to deal with is that pools had to have the same names to be used for ZFS replication within Proxmox. I recently had a situation where I had an...

Greetings! I currently have a Proxmox environment backing up to a Proxmox Backup Server that appears to be CPU limited. The specs of this system are as follows: Intel Celeron J3060 Dual Core @ 2.48Ghz 8GB RAM 128GB SSD Boot Drive 3x 4TB HDDs in ZFS RAIDz1 During backups it is not uncommon for...

Howdy folks. I just wanted to quickly check that my thinking is correct before I take the plunge with trying to get this setup. At the moment I have 3 Proxmox 8 nodes in a cluster, and I wish to setup VMs and storage that will replicate between Node 1 & 2. Node 3 is just for quorum / monitoring...

Howdy folks. I was recently given a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with a swelling battery. I managed to remove the battery without too much trouble, and decided to use it for Proxmox as I figured it would be a pretty low power option as power prices are getting a bit crazy. Unfortunately, I seem to...

Hey guys. So this is definitely a pet peeve more than anything, but I don't understand why Proxmox has chosen deliberately bad default settings for VMs. Here's my pet peeves after creating about 100 VMs: For starters, on the "OS Selection", choosing Windows / Linux / etc should ideally be...

Howdy folks, This is less of a support request, and more of a heads-up that this can happen. I've accepted my data is gone and I am now restoring a backup. I had a basic test VM based on Win11 (Legacy BIOS boot) that I was working on. Single VirtIO SCSI boot disk. I made some changes and then...

Hey everyone. I have a situation where I have setup Proxmox on a HP Elite 8200 and am having a few odd issues in relation to native serial passthrough. I have an old industrial controller that was running on an old XP that is now being retired, and I decided to setup Windows 10 in a VM and pass...

Hi everyone, I have an unfortunate situation where my Proxmox 4.3 installation failed to bring up the WebUI and VMs after attempting to update the system. I was confronted by a half-complete update caused by unmet dependances for zfsutils, and after attempting to remove zfsutils I somehow...

Hey guys, sorry for the relatively noob-ey question here, but I'm struggling to figure this one out. I originally setup Proxmox 5.0 on an old Core2Quad system that was laying around just a temporary setup which worked well, and I have since moved it to a HP Elitedesk 800 (Haswell i5, Intel NIC)...
