    Yet Another RAID Controller question

    I just got off the phone with Adaptec to find out which controller might be best for us to use with proxmox. I was told the 6805 would be great, but only if the kernel was 2.6.39 or over, which I know we are not running. We are still on 1.6 and going to upgrade to 1.9, but I see the 1.9 is still...

    Memory configuration in a KVM

    Hi all, I was just curious. One of our KVMs had 4096 memory assigned to it and I noticed that on the Virtual machines page, that KVM was showing in the memory section as if it was using all of the memory. I then added memory to the system, 7168 to be exact and now on the Virtual Machines page...

Right now on the proxmox machine we have two...

    Getting strange messages - Synchronized to & Promiscuous Mode

    Hi all. Something strange happened and wanted to know what this means. After our server went to a almost halted state, I noticed that in our log files we got a line in our log that stated ntpd 6135 synchronized to 209.114.111.1, stratum2. Does this mean our system may be compromised? Right...

    Only Getting 120 Read/Write, What Can I Do?

    I am using proxmox 1.5 with a highly recommended raid 10 controller that one of the developers had mentioned to me on this forum. We have 4 drives running at 10,000rpms and we are only getting seek times of 120. I would think they should be better than that. Someone took a look at our servers...

    What is a Good Raid 10 Controller to Use with Proxmox?

    Well I figured out that Proxmox doesn't care for the software versions of Raid 10 that my motherboard came with. So now have to spend some more money! :( Can someone recommend a pretty good Raid 10 controller that is not going to put me into poverty? Thanks
