    journald only mail gateway / journald support for pmg-log-tracker

To fix it, i've renamed pmg-log-filter to pmg-log-filter.real and wrote a tiny script as replacement for pmg-log-filter: #!/bin/sh journalctl -u "postfix*" -u...

Before the upgrade the idle process usage was ~2%, and never above ~50% now after the upgrade the idle cpu usage is at ~20% and it goes...

    [SOLVED] Why zfs as datastore for pbs?

    For me it seems there are few reasons when zfs should be used as datastore for pbs: pbs does: - verification - deduplication - compression So, whats the benefit of using zfs as datastore for pbs? IMHO it just makes things slower. The only reason for using ZFS is when you use multiple disks /...

    "Link down" with Mellanox ConnectX 6 Lx (MCX631102AN-ADAT)

    For testing purposes we bought the card from the topic.

    limit concurrent tasks

    Is it possible to limit concurrent tasks? We use a large spinning disk as archive and it becomes really slow when the prune / gc / sync / verify jobs run at the same time. It would be nice when these tasks can be run sequentially: if a task is already running, wait until its finished and then...

    [SOLVED] file restore error when opening partition: "all mounts failed or no supported file system" when using lvm

    what filesystems are supported? i guess this error happens, because the partition is a lvm partition: but it contains an ext4 lvm volume. is lvm + ext4 support planned? an ext2 (boot) partition on the same vm without lvm seems to work. pve 6.4-4 pbs 1.1-5
