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...

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...

When looking into the configuration of the Linux bridge (vmbr0) I can see the following: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eno1 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.10.2/24 gateway 192.168.10.1 bridge-ports eno1 bridge-stp off...

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...

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...

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.

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...

Hi When we create a VM on the pxe, the harddisk for the machine shows as LVM volume when doing "lsblk". The thing is it is not mounted, thus it is not visible to the Debian (host OS). My question is, how come it is not mounted but used by the KVM? Thx

Hi I have the following setup and I am not sure if proxmox email gateway is intended for such deployments: I did the following 1- Changed the MX-record to point to the public IP (100.10.10.10) of my on-premise PMG machine 2- Did 1:1 NAT for the public (100.10.10.10) and private IPs (5.5.5.4) of...

Hi I am trying to understand how proxmox deals with the following scenario: assume I have a local ZFS-pool and I am about to create a centos VM on that pool. Will that be feasible? given that centos can't be isntalled on zfs file systems. IF that is possible how is proxmox doing it under the hood?

Hi I am trying to figure out what does the "Add Storage” checkbox" exactly do? what happens if I check it and what happens if I donot ? I can see it available in each and every storage. Thx
