    Thin provision shows differently between new disk and moved disk

    I got a 256GB NVME and built a Windows Server VM on a local ZFS with 8TB thin provisioned disks. I then shared it as an SMB/CIFS volume and registered it as PVE storage, to have a VM running on it. The disk contains Windows 11 OS. I then tried several restores and disk moves between Local-ZFS...

    [SOLVED] Random access speed slowdown in Nested Proxmox

    Hi. Please take a look at the image comparison first. I ran Crystaldiskmark on a bare metal Proxmox and a nested Proxmox. The storage random access speed is clearly lower on the nested. What could be the cause of this? I imagine it is the block size. Memory cache is set to "none". Any Idea?

    Best way to P2V for Proxmox?

    Hi. I would like to P2V up to 50 Windows machines to Proxmox. Converting with Disk2VHD to VHDX and importing to Raw files is a bit of a pain. Because the hassle of typing the qm importdisk command and attaching it to the receiving VMs will be 50 times.o_O Is there any way to convert physical...

    3 tier storage design - Is this valid?

    Hi, I'm planning to set up PVE with PBS inside it, with some basic workstation hardware. CPU: Ryzen 5 Memory: 32GB Storage 1: SATA 256GB*2 SSD / ZFS Mirror (Proxmox system & PBS system) Storage 2: NVME 256GB*3 ZFS Striping (VM workaround space, except for PVE system or PBS VM) Storage 3: HDD...

    Nested Proxmox for HA, is it possible?

    Hi, I will have several critical VMs running as DDNS or OpenVPN or SSH bastion servers. They are not heavy workloads but are not allowed to stop. However, my company has only one physical server for budget reasons. So, I fancy that I could set up 3 nested Proxmox as guests, to only run above...

    USB Video Capture?

    Hi, I'm running GPU-less Proxmox and it's working great. I have one laptop with iGPU so I can capture & transcode videos locally with OBS. This has been working good for years. But I sometimes feel it's not as flexible as Proxmox VM management, because GPU is bound to physical laptop. Would...

    Cloning Win10 VM as a completely new machine?

    Hi, I'm testing Win10 Autopilot feature with Proxmox. It's an automated PC kittng process managed by MS Intune. It begins refreshing PC according to pre-registered HWID.csv, which is composed of hardware hash, serial etc. HWID is acquired by powershell command...

    [SOLVED] Crontab does not work

    Hi, I'm trying to autostart a VM every 5 min in case my users accidentally shut down it. I added a line "qm start 900" by editing crontab but it doesn't work. When I type "systemctl status cron", it seems it's calling the "qm start" command, but the session closes everytime. There are some...

    OMG I mistakenly pass-thru NVME chip on M/B

    Hi, Yesterday I added a new PCIE board with NVME SSD to proxmox machine, and tried to pass-thru that to a new VM. However, I mistakenly chose vendor-ID that is onboard M/B NVME chipset, not the PCIE NVME board. I remember it because I have once successfully pass-thru PCIE device before. After...
