    [SOLVED] Restore of container backup from ZFS to LVM on a different server fails : because of compression in ZFS.

    If I had increased it a little bit more, it would have worked with your advice. See my last answer.

    [SOLVED] Restore of container backup from ZFS to LVM on a different server fails : because of compression in ZFS.

    Well the answer is : ZFS can do compression and does it ! /home contains big log files that compress well. When you restore from ZFS to ZFS, you achieve a comparable compression result. But when you restore to another FS without compression (e.g. ext4 on LVM or LVM-Thin), your root FS grows...

    [SOLVED] Restore of container backup from ZFS to LVM on a different server fails : because of compression in ZFS.

    I tried but without success. I increased it from 10 GB to 11, 12 and 20. It's always the same. The failure is even more strange as a restore of a VM's backup to /mnt/data succeeds ! root@proxmox3:/# ls -lh /mnt/data/images/201 total 58G -rw-r----- 1 root root 58G Feb 21 07:33...

    [SOLVED] Restore of container backup from ZFS to LVM on a different server fails : because of compression in ZFS.

    Hi there, I have two Proxmox VE 8 servers called proxmox1 and proxmox3. The backups of proxmox1 are validated every night (copy to Debian desktop, decompress, start and ping). Proxmox3 is an old Dell Precision T1650 meant to serve as backup in case proxmox1 fails. It has a 512MB NvMe on a...

    Hi, I am having difficulties migrating a Debian container running on a Proxmox 6 host (5.4.106-1-pve) to a plain Debian 10 server (kernel 4.19.0-16-amd64). I tried the following : - restore from Proxmox backup - restore from tar archive with --numeric-owner option - run lxc-start as user and...

    USB passthrough in a unprivileged container

    Just another hint. From the container, /proc/bus/usb appears to be owned by nobody:nobody.

    [SOLVED] Resize raw disk on ZFS.

    Hi, I installed 6.3 on a new server in order to test it prior to migrating my main server. In the process, I switched from LVM to ZFS. I would like to use the qemu-img -resize command in order to shrink a raw file on ZFS. How can I achieve this ? Cheers. Marc

    Proxmox 5.4.13 with Debian 9 containers, can I run Debian 10 in a container ?

    Hi, this may be a stupid question to those who know the answer, but not to me... Can I upgrade a container to Debian 10 without upgrading the host, which currently runs Debian 9 ? Tanks in advance. Marc

    Windows virtual machine : non persistent drive possible ?

    Alex, Doesn't a snapshot apply to all drives ? I only one the C: drive, where the OS and programs are, to be frozen. The other drive(s) contain data and must be able to change permanently. Marc

    Windows virtual machine : non persistent drive possible ?

    Thanks. If I can vote somehow for this feature, let me know. It is really useful for Windows machines that tend otherwise to slow down over time and update or reset settings by themselves.

    Windows virtual machine : non persistent drive possible ?

    Hi, I would like to know if Proxmox has a feature similar to a non-persistent drive in VMWare Workstation. I remember that a similar question has already been asked and answered negatively in the past. But things may have changed though searching both the internet and this forum hasn't given...
