    IPv6 help

    You can configure a static IPv6 address similarly to that of IPv4. Your ISP should be able to supply you with the gateway and mask I think. At least, they did in my case.

    pve-root hardly used - can I reclaim the space?

    Ah great - never can have too much disk space!

    Raid compatibility

    Hardware RAID of any kind should be fine as far as I know. As long as the controller does its job, PVE's "bare metal" installer will simply partition what's given to it.

    pve-root hardly used - can I reclaim the space?

    I have a small PVE host which is using its disk like this: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/pve-root 95G 6.8G 83G 8% / /dev/sda2 486M 280M 181M 61% /boot /dev/mapper/pve-data 317G 178G 139G 57% /var/lib/vz It would be nice to get...

    Hard Drive from Physical Server to Proxmox VM

    Do you want to virtualize and run the machine as VM guest? If so you can do that using Clonezilla. You can also give the machine's physical drive to be seen by a guest like this (on the host): qm set <id of your VM> -virtio<n> /dev/<physical drive> To virtualise the machine, boot it using...

    Ubuntu guest's xterm.js works, NoVNC just blinks cursor

    I'd like to have the choice between both NoVNC and xterm.js for an Ubuntu 16.04 guest, but for some reason after I configured the serial terminal for xterm.js, NoVNC stopped working. When I start a session with it, I just see a blinking cursor in the top left of the window and I can't connect...

    [SOLVED] Why is my data LV almost full and does it matter?

    Looks like the space is pre-allocated - as explained here

    LVM 100% usage

    Ah OK. That makes sense - I suspected some kind of pre-allocation was going on.

    LVM 100% usage

    OK so what I'm trying to understand is why Proxmox tells me I have about 50% free on /var/lib/vz (where my lvm filesystem is mounted): Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 16G 0 16G 0% /dev tmpfs 3.2G 306M 2.9G 10% /run...

    LVM 100% usage

    That's indeed true in my case. OK - so I don't need to be worried about running out?

    LVM 100% usage

    Interesting, but I'm not sure I completely understand. Are you saying that it's not a problem for the LVM data percentage to be at or near 100%? BTW I see that the output from your lvs command is rather different from mine. You seem to have an lvm-thin storage though while I have plain lvm. But...

    [SOLVED] Why is my data LV almost full and does it matter?

    See also this post, which appears to be at least related.

    LVM 100% usage

    Me too - no clues yet. What, if any, ill effects are you seeing? Also, I assume, like me, your node reports lots of free storage?

    [SOLVED] Why is my data LV almost full and does it matter?

    I've just noticed that if I go to Host > Disks > LVM in my management console, it says that /dev/sda3 is almost full. Yet the datacenter summary screen reports lots of spare storage available (about 50% free). Should I be worried or is this normal? EDIT ---- OK so reading the docs on LVM...

    Container network running but no external access

    Thanks - this is as I suspected. So I either have to ask my ISP to allow the container's MAC address as well as the host's MAC address, or port forward from the host?

    Container network running but no external access

    I've been running VMs on PVE fine, but not tried using containers before. When I start up a container (using a static IPv6 WAN address and static IPv4 LAN), the networking appears to be OK inside the container, but I can't ping anything other than the gateway and the DNS server IP's. And the...

    Convert Directory storage to lvm-thin?

    I have a PVE host which was originally installed on PVE v3 with Directory type storage for local disk images. It is now running 5.3-5. I would like to have the disk images stored on lvm-thin so that I can trim them (the disks are .raw images). Is there a way of doing this that doesn't involve...

    [SOLVED] Does dir storage support thin provisioning?

    OK thanks. The fact that the "discard" checkbox is available in the GUI on RAW images on DIR storage made me wonder.

    [SOLVED] Does dir storage support thin provisioning?

    Ah OK. I didn't know they were separate. Ideally I want thin provisioning using RAW disk images.

    [SOLVED] Does dir storage support thin provisioning?

    Thanks, so am I correct to assume that if the images are RAW on directory storage, then those images cannot shrink? I see the "discard" option is available on them in the GUI though - so I'm not sure.
