    Raw block access to KVM guests in Proxmox 2.1

    Hi all I was putting in the config file for a KVM guest the line below (proxmox 1.9) scsi3: /dev/sdi,media=disk It worked well, giving the guest access to the whole disk. But in Proxmox 2.1 this does not seem to be working. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    mode failure - wrong lvm mount point

    Hi all, I have used LVM over the years and I understand to make a snapshot LV you need spare, unused space on the VG. Also, with vzdump you must put the backup to a separate partition. But can that partition reside in the VG? It seems no. Error 101: Jan 14 16:01:32 INFO: Starting Backup of...

    vzdump and network shares

    [SOLVED] vzdump and network shares Hi, I was wondering the impact of networks shares on vzdump. 1. If a VE has a n NFS share mouted, does a vzdump try and backup the network shares data too? 2. If you bind mount into a VE using the HN, does vzdump try and backup all the data in that...

    Precreated templates

    Hi, I love proxmox. I wish I had the bandwidth at home to really use it on the web. Anyway, how does one use a precreated template? I have dumped them in the cache folder. They are visible in the web GUI, but when making a new Virtual Appliance, only the templates with names, the Official...
