    Will renaming one of a VM's disks break anything on Proxmox? (e.g. backups/replication/etc.)

    I have created a zfspool storage on one of my nodes: # From /etc/pve/storage.cfg: zfspool: zfs-data-vols-thick pool tank/proxmox/data-vols-thick content images mountpoint /tank/proxmox/data-vols-thick sparse 0 Within this storage, I have created a second disk on vm 114...

    Any known issues with rebuilding a host in a cluster and reusing the same hostname?

    I have a 4-node PVE cluster, and one of my nodes needs to be re-built from scratch (I'm re-arranging how the ZFS pool is allocated and rebuilding some of the VDEVs, including the rpool partition). This host's hostname is embedded across various maintenance scripts which I use, so it would be...

    Will I screw anything up if I create my OWN zfs snapshots of lxc/qm disks which I have on zfs?

    I keep my LXC container and QM VM disks on a ZFS filesystem. I don't know much about how PVE manages the ZFS snapshots associated with a given container/vm, but I do see in my filesystem that it does have various snapshots which it creates for migrations etc: root@node1:~# zfs list -r -t...

    Could not log into web GUI while other node was shut down?

    I have a 4-node cluster with nodes A, B, C, and D. I recently had to take nodes A and B offline to install a new NIC in them. I wanted to watch their status on the web GUI of node C while I waited for them to boot back up, so after I shut down nodes A and B, I pulled up node C's web GUI. I was...

    3rd-party ZFS auto-snapshot scripts - Am I doing something dangerous as far as PVE is concerned?

    I use Proxmox to host a bunch of container and VMs, but I also have created some other (non-pve-related) ZFS pools/datasets on my PVE host. I was exploring 3rd-party scripts for automatically creating snapshots of these datasets (specifically this one...

    [SOLVED] Missing write permissions in /etc/pve/ directory

    While troubleshooting another issue (couldn't access web gui), I discovered that the write permissions for most of my /etc/pve/ directory are absent on one of my nodes (XXXX): root@XXXX:/etc/pve# ll total 14K drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 0 Dec 31 1969 . drwxr-xr-x 87 root root 177 Nov...

    [SOLVED] pveproxy only listening on ipv6 address, not on ipv4

    I have a Proxmox 7 install ("xxxx" below), which previously was working fine. However I noticed this morning that I cannot connect to the web GUI as I usually do (pveproxy on port 8006). I haven't made any recent changes that I'm aware of. I can see from systemctl that it's up and running, and...

    RAIDZ3 "chunk" sound every 5 seconds

    I recently set up a new node for my cluster. On previous installs I have done mirrored vdevs, which I understand isn't very space-efficient, but has good redundancy. However in this most recent case I had a stack of spare 3TB drives, so I used RAIDZ3 to get a decent tradeoff for...

    kvm_set_msr_common error on Proxmox console

    I'm having an error spam my node console, and I can't seem to even find out where it's originating. I've tried googling, but in many of the examples I am finding, the user seems to at least have an "when I do xyz, I get this message" - I don't know what's happening to trigger this error, so I'm...

    SMART warnings & disk usage identification

    My email notifications have been broken since I set up my cluster a year ago. I recently fixed them, and immediately got notified that I have one node in my cluster which has a failed sector on one of my disks. The email is the following: This message was generated by the smartd daemon running...

    [SOLVED] Storage error/warning when setting values on a container

    I have a container which shows the follow error when I try to set values via the terminal: root@my-host-name:~# pct set 132 -protection 0 storage does not support content type 'none' I have tested with other values (such as "-unprivileged") and I receive the same error. Note that the set...

    Debian-based container not loading /etc/profile.d/ scripts when using "pct enter"

    I have some aliases I'd like to load in my container when someone logs into them. I created a file called /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh, and this works as expected when I SSH into my container. However I have noticed that when I log into a container via the pct enter <VMID> command, this file is not...

    Enabled 2fa (TOTP) on node A, now can't log into node B

    I have two nodes, A and B. I decided to try out two-factor authentication. I logged into node A, clicked the top-right menu in the web GUI, clicked "TFA", and set up a TOTP secret in my phone's 2FA app (scanned the QR code, verified it, etc.). I now am required to enter the 2FA code whenever I...

    Why can root user (in guest) write to my mounted directory?
