Hello! I am backing up a file server vm on a very old node(Celeron J1900). The VM has a 3TB virtual hard disk. I move what data I could off from this vm, making the virtual disk almost empty. Still, the backup takes a loooong time it seems, and sparse is 1-2%. Should I install secure -delete...

THX, I tried it and it worked! I keep hitting a weird bug tho... My GBE ports are eno1 and so on. MY 10GBE ports are enp65s0f0 like.... EVERY time I change something in the network, the active-backup writes the eno1 GBE port first. I have to manually change the order of the 2 slaves in the...

thx, I 'll give it a try!

Hi there! I am looking for a way to redundantly configure CEPH for a new pve cluster. The nodes have 1x10GBE and 2xGBE ports. The nice way would be to have 2x10GBE ports per node and bond them together and make different VLANs for CEPH, cluster comm, separate cluster network, WAN, LANd, DMZ ...

Ok, I stand corrected! It is reassuring that this kind of thing would only happen with NFS storage. Phasing it out and upgrading to 5.3 are this year's new year's resolutions. Thx for ur reply!

Hi there! I ran into some strange trouble with both of my proxmox clusters, and let me show u how it got solved. Problems: -Gui showed all nodes offline and all vms offline - but everything was running -gui didnt show any storage Diagnostic steps: - ssh into every proxmox node and run ping...

Thx! I' ll tell the guy to do that!

Thx, LnxBil! The problem is, the guy is running Zimbra OSE (Open Source Edition). To get live backup capabilities, he would have to upgrade it to Zimbra Suite Plus at least. That is why he asked me - i recommendend him proxmox to begin with - whether the proxmox built in snapshot (that is...

Hi! I am curious about Your experience with backing up Zimbra. I do weekly snapshot backups of our Zimbra server, but never needed to restore until today. I rsync those one day later to offsite. A colleague of mine ran into some trouble when a hardware error rendered his backup hdd useless...

Hi, i would like to request a wikipedi page update. (I got a note I would like to add) Where can I do that? Browsed the wiki but couldn't see any contact email or anything similar.

Hi! I successfully set up the mesh network with the method 1 in the full mesh wiki page. Wasnt able to set up vlans over it, but that doesn't matter now. I could follow the separate cluster network guidelines too, the cluster communication is running on the mesh network too. I set up the...

Wow, thanks for the fast answer!! So I should do a broadcast mode bond on the dual port 10Gbits, and use that for cluster communication and ceph communication. The VM-s should use the built in dual 1Gbit interfaces, as usual. Is that correct? CadilLACi

Hello, I have 3 servers with dual 10Gbit cards, but no 10g switch. I read the https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server tutorial. Fits my enviroment well, my only question is this: As I see, the static routes on if-up and if-down restrict the use of the network to the 3...

Hi! After long experimentation, it turned out that on one of my vm-s I had a disk which had cache enabled. Turns out with CEPH storage backend, that is not good. Stopped the VM, changed to no cache, and my problems disappeared since then. recovering the journal partition: The journal...

Hello! I operate a home lab for experimental purposes. It has 3 Proxmox nodes with each: 1ssd for system+lvm storage + free space 1hdd for ceph storage One of my boxes goes funky from time to time. The drive names (sda, sdb, sdc) get mixed up!!!!! For example, 1 set a 20 gig...
