    SOLVED: CT's storage disappears after I rename the ctid.conf from 105.conf to 107.conf

    EDIT: Happily, in the course of writing this post, I found the data in /dev/dm-1, but nonetheless it remains quite disturbing. Does anyone care to speculate/theorize as to how this could have happened? Fortunately I have a recent backup, but it is disturbing nonetheless. I have a...

    [PARTIALLY SOLVED] Following suggestions of hugeadmin --explain breaks oom watchdog and system crashes when starting qemu vms w/ iommu

    UPDATE My main problem was that I was setting vm.nr_hugepages to 1024*2 in sysctl, without understanding that this was overriding my cmdline argument of hugepages=1. I thought I was defining the pagefile size. As a result, hugepages would allocate 119 or 118 x 1Gb pagefiles, which the system...

    Phantom interface with its own MAC address steals my gateway VM's DHCP lease from ONT!

    I have a 3 node cluster. One of the VMs is my gateway, which happens to be pfsense. I use vmbr0 for LAN, as per default, and I create a vmbr1 for the WAN interface. For the purposes of troubleshooting, I have my ONT connected directly to a proxmox node, and I physically move the WAN uplink...

    mac addresses from previous motherboards resurfacing to fight router vm for wan ip

    I have a three node cluster, wherein vmbr1 is dedicated as a wan interface. I recently upgraded the motherboard of two of the nodes, and their nics seems to fight with themselves for the wan ip when they run my router vm (pfsense), because they seem to have two mac addresses. The wan interface...

    [SOLVED] Implementing backup to NAS

    SOLVED: I decided to instead create a volme on the NAS which I export as NFS. With respect to the pve-zsync, I got some disks and installed an openindiana/napp-it server to manage them. It doesn't quite work, but that's a subject for another thread. Hi. I got a new nas, and added a target...

    [SOLVED] Moving disk from local to shared storage too slow, fails

    I have a server that is not part of my cluster, and I'd like to move one of its VMs to the shared storage on my cluster. As the VM is on zfs storage, and I don't have a zfs pool of sufficient size on my cluster, I've set up temp storage on one of the nodes. One of the virtual disks is 0.5 TB...

    Restarting an LXC crashing PVE

    I've noticed that PVE can be somewhat fickle when I restart or start containers. I entered a console's container just now and ran "reboot". The container did not come back, and I noticed that the status of the container became inconsistent, i.e. the icon shows that it is running, but the stop...

    Attempting to create bridge to SAN bond breaks networking

    Hi. I have a SAN set up for vm storage. It consists of two bonded nics on my nodes, as well as on a qnap NAS. (FWIW, each NIC goes to a dedicated switch, and the two switches are bridged.) I'd like to set up a FreeNAS VM and give it access to the SAN network. I thought I might be able to...

    multipath.conf setup makes volumes appear as duplicate, crashes NAS?

    I tried to set up multipath today on a cluster of old servers that I've been using for testing. I have a four bay nas with two raid-1 targets/luns. Currently there's one lun per target, and both interfaces are enabled for each target. The multipathd.conf file I came up with is as follows...

    What to do with all these disks? Dual Socket X5690 good enough for ceph?

    This is for "HomeLab"/Educational purposes. I run a couple of lightweight services on the 3 nodes in question. There's a DVR with a couple of cameras, a PVR I rarely use, a samba-based domain controller, a Unifi Controller, a pfsense router, and a light PBX. The DVR, PVR, and router are KVMs...

    [SOLVED] Unable to restore backup piped over ssh

    SOLVED: It was simply an uncompressed vma file. I did: cat myfile.vma | qmrestore - 101 What follows is the original post. ================================================ On SERVER_A, I send a backup to SERVER_B like this: vzdump 105 --stdout | ssh -p 25222 root@20ttt.ddns.net "cat -...

    Drive 'letters' changing, and annoying me

    I have identical motherboards, and disks for root. I've made sure the BIOS settings and versions are identical, as are the cards, and the slots in use. On some sda stays sda after install, on others it moves around, and I can't seem to control it. It seems that one day it's inevitable that a...

    FOSS ZFS over iSCSI options for use with PM (2018)

    Thanks. You just saved me a bunch of time. It will be interesting to see how all of this evolves. I think I'll leave FreeNAS in place for now and mess with the OS formerly known as OpenSolaris as an educational project.

    FOSS ZFS over iSCSI options for use with PM (2018)

    I'm using LVM/iSCSI currently. I just read a little too much into the statement: "Now running 3.16 Kernel with a ZFS ZVol and iSCSI target." I took the last part of the sentence, in the context of the ~4 year old note on the wiki, to be synonymous with ZFS over iSCSI Your doubt makes it...

    FOSS ZFS over iSCSI options for use with PM (2018)

    I have FreeNAS up and running w/ LVM iSCSI (I expected ZFS target to work at first). I read about the patch that exists for PM, and I'm pretty sure I found it on GIT, but I didn't check it out as it was a patch. It's good to hear that it may make its way into PM proper. So maybe I'll stick...

    Proxmox VE 5.0 Ryzen 7 1700X crashes daily

    I can report that my Threadripper workstation with PM installed is working fine, aside from the stupid name. I have an Asus Zenith motherboard. I had an issue with PCIe passthrough, but a smart guy on reddit fixed it with a few lines of code for my (IIRC) vfio-amd and vfio-pci. (This fix is...
