Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. I googled how to use folder2ram and zram from the Armbian setups plus looked into the debian zram scripts. I downloaded the zram-config_0.5_all.deb and installed it, and tweaked it to suit running more zram devices as compressed swap devices, plus /tmp and...

This is possible but does require messing about on the command line. What you will have to do is dd the old disk into a new disk copying only the first 1000G via a combination of blocksize= and count= arguments to dd. Then, with the VM offline, edit the config file to use the new disk. If it all...

I'm only using the zram for the logs, not the whole disk. And the logs are sync'ed to the disk regularly. If the host freezes and crashes, then yeah, I could lose some log info I guess. By keeping the logs in zram, the write frequency to the disk is massively reduced. Not sure if that's what...

I'm using SD cards for Proxmox in my servers with the mods from the Odroid/OMV/Armbian forums where they use log2ram and folder2ram to create zram devices to take the strain off writing to SD cards regularly for those small devices. They create ram log devices and sync to disc infrequently. So...

No expert, but don't you need to set the "iface vmbr[1-4] inet" to static not manual and give them an address on the local subnet 192.168.133.xxx so that they see the same gateway, so the guests can get the DHCP and DNS from the gateway?

Stefan, So I changed the config of the win 2k16 server that exhibits the issue to remove the iothread: agent: 1 bios: ovmf boot: cdn bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 8 cpu: IvyBridge keyboard: en-gb lock: backup machine: q35 memory: 24576 name: 2016server-28 net0: virtio=06:F1:3B:F0:3A:79,bridge=vmbr26...

Stefan, Thanks for the further feedback. I appreciate your continued help with this, as it's still occurring, though as I said, my script now repeats until the vma is created, which always happens once the error goes past the last disk, if you follow me. While the source files are on...

If the vm 100 won't boot, then an option is to mount it in another VM - keep the vm 100 off and recover the files you need. Then you could add a windows CDROM to the vm 100 when you're ready to start it and boot off the cdrom. Make sure you remove the line in the vm101 adding the vm 100 disk...

So several more failures with the vma_writer issue from the following qemu-server.conf files: agent: 1 bios: ovmf boot: cdn bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 8 cpu: IvyBridge keyboard: en-gb machine: q35 memory: 24576 name: 2016server-28 net0: virtio=06:F1:3B:F0:3A:79,bridge=vmbr26 numa: 1 ostype: win10...

Stefan, Thanks for your response. An example of the qemu-server.conf is: agent: 1 bios: ovmf bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 4 cpu: IvyBridge efidisk0: gluster-vm:301/vm-301-disk-1.raw,size=128K machine: q35 memory: 4096 name: virtual-win10-187 net0: virtio=CE:5C:B3:A0:B1:68,bridge=vmbr26,firewall=1...

Hello, When trying to create an archive with a command like vma create vzdump-qemu-100-2019_10_31-08_04_33.vma -c qemu-server.conf drive-scsi0=disk-drive-scsi0.raw drive-scsi1=disk-drive-scsi1.raw drive-scsi2=disk-drive-scsi2.raw I often get errors: (process:10285): ERROR **: 05:07:08.691...

Hi Gerd. Unfortunately (from another post about nfs mount missing the async option) I ran "cat /proc/mounts" and saw that the nfs mount still has "hard" in it and no "intr" option, so I think these have been ignored. I'm sorry, I don't know how to safely unmount the missing nfs. I ended up...

Hi again. (Been away on holiday, so no chance to test and report back until now). Thanks to macday for the pointer on the ethernet issue. I wouldn't have thought to look there. Anyway, guest response seems pretty good and no more hangs/freezes. I have re-implimented the no-barriers etc as well...

Hi, I had a similar thing and found some help on this forum. I have manually modified the nfs mount in the storage.cfg file to add "soft,intr" to the options line which, as I understand from the documentation causes the nfs mounts to soft fault and interrupt the process calling it if the nfs...

Hi there. Seems much better. Response seems to be good as much as I ahve been able to assess it this afternoon. I wonder if I should have configured the sysconf net re-ordering parameters with the balance-rr to allow higher number of re-ordering tcp packets. Seems a shame not to be able to...

Hi, macday. Thanks for the quick reply. I will change the config as you suggested, and report back. YellowShed

Thanks, macday. I will change the mode to active-backup, and report back. YellowShed

Hello, I'm having a weird issue that I can't seem to find an answer for and not sure what search terms to google for to try and find any solutions. I have two HP Proliant Gen 8 machines with dual CPUs and 64GB of RAM each. I have set the onboard controller to configure the disks as raid 1+0...
