    ERROR: Backup of VM <id> failed - PCI device <device> already in use by VMID '<id>'

    I got the following error when backing up overnight: ERROR: Backup of VM 114 failed - PCI device '0000:15:00.0' already in use by VMID '107' Now I know why this is - just as it says, the PCI device (a GPU in this case), is already in use. However, I wonder what the recommended solution is? I...

    Backup notifications only on error

    Thanks for this - your solution came near the top searching for "email notifications". I wanted to add to the feedback that this is a bit confusing: 1. It totally surprised me my email provider (Fastmail) even allows this through! SMTP comes up as a Fastmail SMTP, and I had no idea this was...

    Whole system rebooting when I restart a particular Windows 10 VM from host

    Sorry to bump this - but any ideas where to start on this one please? I found that eventually this started affecting even the clone. So no idea what's happening specifically with a "restart" of VM from Proxmox host.

    Whole system rebooting when I restart a particular Windows 10 VM from host

    I've found that selecting "restart" on a particular Windows 10 VM from Proxmox UI will freeze and restart the whole system. To start with I thought I selected the wrong thing, and restarted the node. However, I've found this is reproducible. The only different log I get from a normal VM restart...

    Proxmox installation stuck on 3% "Creating LV's" PLEASE HELP GUYS

    I just found this thread Googling "proxmox create lvs stuck". I see it was started a couple of years ago, but then there's been a few posts, all regarding the N100. I've installed Proxmox dozens of times and never seen this, so I wonder why it's an issue just on some of these N100 mini PCs...

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 VM - memory errors when passing through GPU, after upgrading to Proxmox 8.2

    Thanks @dcsapak! Blacklisting worked. Not sure how I missed that Google result - but I see it was from two years ago. I wonder what changed that blacklisting is now necessary, when it wasn't (or didn't appear to be) before?

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 VM - memory errors when passing through GPU, after upgrading to Proxmox 8.2

    Thanks @dcsapak I did a complete fresh install straight to 8.2, so I don't have the older kernels. Whatever was latest in 8.1 definitely worked. Right now I have this: Linux pve-maxi 6.8.4-3-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.8.4-3 (2024-05-02T11:55Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux I also tried the only...

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 VM - memory errors when passing through GPU, after upgrading to Proxmox 8.2

    I'm trying to run a Windows 10 VM clone from a template I've been using absolutely fine. When I passthrough an Nvidia GPU I get these errors in the logs: [Fri May 17 08:31:12 2024] x86/PAT: memtype_reserve failed [mem 0xf800000000-0xf801ffffff], track uncached-minus, req uncached-minus [Fri...

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    No definitely not the disk here. Locally copying the same file is way faster.

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    I just tried the E1000 emulation - although I still see high DPCs, it's not as high as with the virtio driver, and although there's a little jerkiness, it's much more responsive.

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    I see someone else had the same issue https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/windows-high-dpc-usage.99567/, but unresolved.

    Windows High DPC % Usage

    Sorry to bring up the old thread, but did you find the solution here? Your post is the top result for "ndis.sys" on here.

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    Having discovered that DPCs were involved here - it helped a bit with Googling. I thus found a Windows program called latencymon. It reports all green until I run the SMB transfer, and then says there are problems with the "ndis.sys" driver. At 2.5gbit it certainly shouldn't be having problems.

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    I just tried reducing from 16 to 8 - and I see the same behaviour. To be clear this isn't some very slight latency issue - the whole Windows system becomes jerky and unresponsive at random points during the transfer. Whether it's the hypervisor or Windows I don't know, but it certainly seems to...

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    Sorry I wasn't clear on the SMB setup. The SMB client is in a Windows 10 VM guest, where the host has a 10gbit connection. I've tried two different SMB servers, both on different physical hardware to the Windows guest I'm seeing this. I perf from the Proxmox host to both the SMB servers show...

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    Quick update to this - while running the SMB copy, I see "Hardware Interrupts and DPCs" go from 0 to 8% (total) CPU, which seems to account for the CPU core being pegged. Wondering if that's something to do with QEMU or a native Windows 10 problem.

    Windows 10 guest stutters during SMB file copy

    I have a strange Windows 10 guest issue. I don’t have any native Windows systems to just try it. When I copy a 20GB file over SMB, Windows 10 stutters - not just the mouse pointer, but animations in a running browser (for instance). I tried copying the file locally, while also running iPerf...

    Added a new node but "local-lvm" storage unknown - due to different volume group name?

    It seems odd to be forced to move root and swap off the “PVE” VG, just to be able to have “local-lvm” on a different SSD. So I’d be trading one quirk for another. What’s the recommended way of doing this? I can’t believe I’m the only one that would want the Proxmox root on its own disk, but...
