    firewall on or off?

    If I look at Firewall -> Options on the Datacenter, Firewall is "No". This is consistent with the docs at https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pve-firewall.html#pve_firewall_cluster_wide_setup If I look at each node individually, Firewall is "Yes". I see no /etc/pve/firewall/cluster.fw and...

    create disk not specific to a vm

    Yes, I think you are right. I was able to do it following https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Moving_disk_image_from_one_KVM_machine_to_another. I used a vm-000-disk-y convention, since the other convention I tried, disk-yyy caused an error when starting the VM. In terms of a feature request for the...

    create disk not specific to a vm

    Is there a way to create a disk that can be attached to one VM, used, then detatched and attached to another VM? I see that I can add a hard drive to an existing VM and I can detach it. That disk will then have a name like vm-xxx-disk-y. However, I can't figure out how to attach vm-xxx-disk-y...

    SPICE performance sluggish

    OK, after playing with Debian a bit more, I think it is considerably better. Video from youtube still not working great but definitely better than Manjaro. Are there any quantitative, data-driven measures of graphical remote performance that can be useful for comparison/benchmarking? The only...

    SPICE performance sluggish

    It is marginally better with Debian 10 guest, default XFCE desktop, but still not usable for constant interactive use. Tried Windows 10 virt-viewer client as well as virt-viewer on a Linux desktop--performance is not materially different between the two clients. @tom, are Youtube videos smooth...

    SPICE performance sluggish

    I will try one or both of those and comment here. I'm interested in trying to isolate where the issue may be.

    SPICE performance sluggish

    No, the Arch based distros are both Xorg. The Fedora install is Wayland, but I just installed that for comparison... I really want to run a graphical Arch-based VM, either Manjaro or Archlabs.

    SPICE performance sluggish

    PVE 6.3-2. Configuring VMs with 8GB RAM, and SPICE qxl, memory=32. Tried several of the latest distributions, specifically Manjaro, ArchLabs, and Fedora Workstation. Performance is just very slow to the point that it is frustrating to use. Verified that spice-vdagent is running and that...

    convert linked clone to full disk

    I have a VM that uses a linked clone. I would like to convert it to a full independent disk. How can I do this? The disk for the guest and the template is stored on local-lvm.

    KVM Display Driver Comparisons

    Can someone point me to the pros/cons of the various KVM display drivers? I'm finding it hard to find reliable info on this topic. My use case is several Linux guests running X, accessible with RDP. Does the configured display driver even matter for this? Note that I am not trying to...

    pct man page incorrect?

    Thank you Fabian. Would be great to improve the docs as I spent too long trying to get it to work before trying the other shortcut syntax that I found on the web. The two other more minor issues I found with the pct create man page were: it is not clear that you can specify "dhcp" in the...

    pct man page incorrect?

    I am running proxmox-ve: 4.4-87 and need to create containers from the CLI. when I do "man pct" the format of the rootfs command is: -rootfs [volume=]<volume> [,acl=<1|0>] [,quota=<1|0>] [,ro=<1|0>] [,shared=<1|0>] [,size=<DiskSize>] However, when I ran a pct create with the following rootfs...
