    Cannot create LXC on ZFS

    I know this is a common issue, but I cant get it going with the typical settings. I can create on LVM, but not on zvol, nor ZFS file system. I have added a ZFS storage type on the storage page, and a directory to the dataset mount. When I try to move the drive from my lvm to the zfs dataset I...

    Ideas for large ZFS array

    I am up in the air on which platform to go with - Dell or Quanta. I have done some limited ZFS installs to date so I know my way around it for the most part, but never anything big. I need at least 16TB of fast space, with room to grow later. So typically my go-to is a Dell R730xd 26x 2.5...

    Cluster on zfs?

    I came across some quanta servers too cheap to turn down and want to make a test lab to try some ZFS clustering on low end disks... looking for some commentary- what will give best performance with least risk, and least complexity, most functionality. I have been using PVE since v1.4 and am...

    OVS adding VLANs without reboot

    Can someone verify the my understanding of OVS vs old Linux network stack- If I set a Linux Bridge to VLAN aware, I could add as many VMs with different VLAN ids as I want, and any time I want, without rebooting the host. Correct me on this part- On OVS, documentation seems to state I have to...

    VLAN trunking not working

    I am at a loss, for some reason I cannot get trunking to work from my VMs to my switch. I made VLAN 11 on my switch, and made a member on the port for eth1, and set the port mode to "TagALL/Trunk". In proxmox I made the following: iface eth1 inet manual auto vmbr1 iface vmbr1 inet manual...

    Anyone tested Open Compute nodes?

    Just curious as a lot of the facebook servers seem to be hitting the grey market now. I know power and rack size can be an issue if you dont buy the whole rack, but these might be good lab machines for testing.

    Subscription questions

    I am thinking of getting a Standard subscription package to aide in setup of some VMs that have hardware pass-thru needs, and CEPH setup. Would support cover that? Or are there disclaimers/exclusions as to what cases can be used for?
