    I can't delete partitions on an old disk

    Hi I'd like to completely delete all partitions on disk sdb: the command fdisk /dev/sdb: Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.38.1). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command. This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is...

    How to recover backup files from disk

    Hi, I think that my Proxmox machine has passed away. Now, I want to recover the last backup files which I had no opportunities to backup elsewhere. They are saved on the same disk in which runs the OS. What should I do? Thanks

    [SOLVED] Boot issue if the external usb drive is off

    Hi, I used a HDD in a usb drive as a external storage. I found out that when the usb drive is off or not connected to Proxmox I get this error at the boot: If I plug the usb drive to Proxmox and run it the boot goes on normally as alway. Is it normal? Is there a way to avoid this problem or I...

    How to correctly backup VMs and LXCs both to internal and external USB drive

    Hi I watched this video: it is simple and straightforward. Anyway, I'd like to know if I can backup on the internal storage first (as I do now), and make a copy of the same backup on an external disk. Do I need to add another backup job in proxmox with the same schedule and mode setup? Or...

    RDP from physical LAN to OPNsense VM LAN problem

    Hi. I installed OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox 8 to practice with this firewall. It gets an IP (its main WAN port) from my physical router which manages my home LAN. I set a WAN pass rule in OPNsense to allow my pc on my physical LAN to get access both to OPNSense GUI, VMs and physical machines on...

    Two ether2 for the Mikrotik VM

    Hi. I don't know if a problem related to Proxmox or Mikrotik ROS 7. So, bear with me please. I am still trying to figure it out. I setup a Mikrotik ROS VM in Proxmox which has two network cards. The MK VM gets an IP via vmbr0 from my physical HOME LAN router. This IP also happens to be the...

    (DUP!) ping issue

    Hi, I don't know if it is the right place to ask this question because the problem can be due to some thing else completely, I mean not Proxmox, but you have to start somewhere, right? Before I deploy a new setup on my real home lab, I gave it a go on my Vmware workstation first: I created 3...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox 8.0 -2 stucks to the initial setup startup

    Hi, I'm trying to install Proxmox 8.0 -2 on an old PC. I've never had any problems at installing old versions of Proxmox on the same machine which I use just to practice with it, but now the initial setup startup always gets stuck at the very beginning, exactly here: What is the issue...

    Where is the container disk folder

    hi, I have started practicing with Proxmox again. I created a debian container and add a disk to it to store data sent by my client via a backup program. No ZFS on my Proxmox VE, it is a small server just to enable me to experiment with setups and stuff. So I added the disk-1 (100G) to...

    How to make a backup and excluding second HD

    Hi, I created an Openmediavault VM in my Proxmox 7.3.1 machine. I then passed through a HDD to it as you can see in the image underneath: After I set up the OMV VM according to my needs, I ran a backup of the machine, but It seems that the second HD (virtio2) gets backed up too, along with...

    Cluster, HA and replication

    I came across this topic on Reddit: Compact network and cluster setup I was wondering if this kind of configuration + HA would make all data perfectly synchronized in case the main node goes down. In particular, let's assume that a mysql container or a VM with it running inside in the node...

    How to move from local-lvm to my zfs pool

    I installed my last VM in the wrong place. I wanted to install it on my zfspool but by mistake I installed it on the "local-lvm" instead. Can I move it to "mypool" without making a mess of it? Thanks

    About creating a shared storage in Proxmox

    I have a little Proxmox host machine to which I added a new HDD. I'd like this new HDD to be a shared storage for my LAN which only I can access to. I still don't know if I should format it with ext4 or zfs. For the record, on my Proxmox host there is already a zfs mirror pool made of two...

    [SOLVED] Problems with adding a third NIC

    HI I run pfSense as a Vm in my Proxmox host which in turn I put behind pfsense, so I can acces Proxmox GUI from pfsense LAN. I added a third network card which actually is an usb/ethernet adapter. I wanted it to work in pfsense and create a new subnet for guest devices, but it seems that...

    [SOLVED] Speed issue with a network card

    I added a network card to my Proxmox host. I "attached" to it a virtual switch as well for my internal VMs, but it seems that there is some problem with it: root@pve:~# ifconfig enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:18:f3:xx:xx:xx txqueuelen 1000...

    I can't disable/enable repositories from Proxmox GUI

    ji, It seems that I can't enable/disable repositories from Proxmox GUI: They are in greyish as you can see above. I managed to update from shell anyway (I don't know how exactly, honestly), but when I tried to launch the "apt-get update" command again, I still get this error message...

    What if I passthrough a NIC?

    Hi, Ok, I have to post the same images one more time :): this is my network setup in Proxmox: LAN and VLANs in pfSense: The Proxmox's VMs are connected via vmbr1 to VLAN1 (192.168.10.0/24) If I plug any device to the enp5s1 NIC it goes on LAN (192.168.5.0/24) and gets its own ip...
