    [SOLVED] tried to replace LV in virtual machine and it failed

    Hi Long story short, I have a working VM with the following config: I created another thin-volume (named 104_replica) in the same thin-pool and did: dd if=/dev/pve/vm-104-disk-0 of=/dev/pve/104_replica the result was as shown below: next I edited the config of the vm-104 machine which was...

    proxmox snapshot not showing in dmsetup

    Hi I am wondering about the mechanism of snap-shots in proxmox. At the moment, the resulting snap is of type "V" (virtual device as shown in the attribute bits of lvs command below) and not the usual "s" (snapshot) also the resulting "snap shot device" only shows in the "lvs" command but doesn't...

    tap interface interaction with Bridge vmbr0

    thx a ton, that answers myq question. So what you are saying is that in proxmox when I add a virtual interface to a VM, two interfaces are added, one the "virtual LAN" which is added to VM from one side and at the same time, a tap device is added to the switch on the other. That makes sense now...

    please delete this post

    I am not 100% sure, but proxmox doesn't just use the normal config, it defines using "tap" interfaces firewall-bridge as we all as the vmbr0 bridge which I am not seeing in ur config above. Have you tried to copy the default config from a working proxmox setup?

    [SOLVED] why does vmbr0 has an IP?

    Thank you, now it is all clear "You could do that via a virtual NIC owned by the Proxmox host connected to the Bridge. In Proxmox, however, these two things are combined, so vmbr0 is both the Bridge ("virtual switch") and the network card through which all the Proxmox management stuff goes."...

    [SOLVED] why does vmbr0 has an IP?

    For both of @Dunuin and @shanreich answers I am getting the same idea that the IP is needed to access the bridge, but the IP is assigned to an interface so it is assigned to tap0? (the first tap-device? but the tap device takes only MAC value), I mean the IP should be written into some interface...

    Just to clarify, you mean that the IP is needed for me to communicate directly with the bridge?

    [SOLVED] why does vmbr0 has an IP?

    first of all, thank you for your clarification. Let me see if I got it right, The IP is needed if I want to access the bridge it self via the IP?

    [SOLVED] why does vmbr0 has an IP?

    Hi According to the documentation, Proxmox uses tap devices (layer-2 devices which accept Ethernet frames) along the virtual switch (Vmbr0). I am not understanding why vmbr0 has an IP address, what is it needed for? and what is it used for? The code below is taken from the documentation for the...

    I just dropped the caches using: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches and this is what I got (both imgs below are after dropping the caches) I can see some gigs have been shaved off the RAM but it is still alot. Any ideas on where to go next? update to PVE7 or something similar?

    PVE showing high memory usage but VM is not

    Hi Simply put I have the following scenario: I am running PVE 6.3.2 and have a VM with 16 Gigs of Ram and it was all of sudden consuming all the RAM which leads to the machine hanging up. So we increased the RAM up to 32 Gigs of Ram but nothing really changed. The problem is that the VM is not...

    [SOLVED] volume back-up and not full-machine-backup

    Hi I am wondering if there is a way to copy the volume of the machine (for the sake of backup). I know that is possible with some storage technologies (LVM, CEPH etc) but I was wondering if there is a way to it directly via Proxmox? Thx.

    [SOLVED] q35 vs i440fx

    Hi I am trying to understand when should I choose the machine-type to "Q35 vs i440fx", I understand that Q35 supports PCIe so I can do GPU passthrough but what about the i440fx, is the Q35 is that superior why do we still have it? For my setup where I have bunch of VMs running apache + MySQL on...
