    [SOLVED] Wake-on-lan - doesn't work on Proxmox (Atheros Killer E2400)

    Indeed it did cross my mind, but that would require hooking up 2 ethernet cables, so I'll go with a smart socket. Thank you for the input :)

    [SOLVED] Wake-on-lan - doesn't work on Proxmox (Atheros Killer E2400)

    It appears that Atheros Killer driver has a bug and WOL was disabled for it a while back. Some insights: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61651 There's a patch, originally prepared for Ubuntu: https://github.com/AndiWeiss/alx-wol However, correct me if I'm wrong, but even if I...

    [SOLVED] Auto-Login for Root on Local TTY or Password-Free Access

    Yep, the systemd drop-in unit (followed by systemctl daemon-reload) did the trick: # cat /etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/autologin.conf [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear --autologin root %I $TERM The original unit has ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -- \\u' --noclear...

    [SOLVED] Wake-on-lan - doesn't work on Proxmox (Atheros Killer E2400)

    I repurposed my old gaming rig into a PVE host, it's equipped with Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4 motherboard that comes with Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10). Back, when this host had Windows 7 installed, I was able to configure the Wake-on-lan in NIC's settings to...

    [SOLVED] Auto-Login for Root on Local TTY or Password-Free Access

    Hello! I'm looking for a way to enable root auto-login or bypass the password prompt, but only for local TTY (physical monitor and keyboard). It's important that full PAM authentication remains for web GUI and remote access. Anybody knows the elegant way to achieve this?

    [SOLVED] Fine-tuning user permissions

    Hello! I'm looking for neat way, to allow given user/token to perform only one particular action: to shutdown a node and shutdown/start a VM. The only way I came up with, it using SSH and adding a command-specific SSH key to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, something like command="shutdown"...

    NFS doesn't remount automatically after turn on or restart the NAS

    @limone - the umount does the trick, but I'm worried about running this in crontab. Sometimes while this issue is happening, the `ls /mn/pve` appears to take forever. Did you ever have any issues with this?

    How to make a best use of an SSD drive in VMs?

    I noticed, that LVM-think works way worse, than Directory storage + qcow2 files for VM disks. What FS for the Directory should I use for such approach? xfs, or ext4? it will only contain the qcow2 files...

    How to make a best use of an SSD drive in VMs?

    I cannot seem to change the SCSI Controller value from GUI and for Bus/Device I can only see: You're right. I wiped the disk, set up a Directory storage using ext4 and repeated the test: Throughput: read, MiB/s: 111.64 written, MiB/s: 74.43 Thus...

    How to make a best use of an SSD drive in VMs?

    I should add that those drives are connected to the server via HPE Smart Array P420i controller, it has this little battery. I wonder how safe would it be to use "writeback" Cache mode

    How to make a best use of an SSD drive in VMs?

    I'm not sure, I use GUI with following settings: ("fast" is the lvm-thin storage) The first one is ADATA SU630, the second one (the one that is bottlenecking) is Seagate IronWolf 125. I would expect it to have better performance than ADATA.

    How to make a best use of an SSD drive in VMs?

    On my proxmox machine I got two SSD drives natively connected to it. First disk is for proxmox OS, the other I want to use in VMs. Basically, I want to use half of this second SSD drive in one VM, and other half in another, preferably with auto-adjusting sizes (in case one VM needs more than a...

    Hello! Every couple of weeks various VMs tend to become problematic and their consoles show the following errors: Rebooting the VM fixes the issue. How do I diagnose what's going wrong? In that state of the VM, I'm unable to SSH into it. The Proxmox is installed on HP Proliant DL380e...

    Snapshots on LMV-thin stopped working after failed backup job

    Of course :) Wait - what? So you say that this VM was never able to be snapshotted and I only noticed this now? I cannot be certain, but I think I would've noticed this before. So the VM backup-snapshot does not utilize the copy-on-write feature of LVM? So this basically boils down to the...
