    Proxmox VE 6.4 available

    Found the issue - the boot partitions, in my case sda2 and sdb2 (I have 2 drives in zfs raid1) did not have a "grub" folder, nor had the "initrd.img-5.4.106-1-pve" and "vmlinuz-5.4.106-1-pve" files. Also, for some reason they were configured for uefi, which the Gen 8 does not have: #...

    Proxmox VE 6.4 available

    Hi, I am running proxmox on a HP Microserver Gen8 since version 6.0 without a single issue, upgrades up to version 6.3 were flawless. Today I decided to upgrade to 6.4 through the "PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com", as I did in the past for 6.0->6.1 and so on and ran...

    4.15 based test kernel for PVE 5.x available

    Hi, I upgraded today my HP DL360p Gen8 to the latest 4.15.18-15 kernel and the system cannot boot, it is stuck at importing the zfs pool. proxmox-ve: 5.2-2 (running kernel: 4.15.17-3-pve) pve-manager: 5.2-5 (running version: 5.2-5/eb24855a) pve-kernel-4.15: 5.2-4 pve-kernel-4.15.18-1-pve...

    Backup very slow

    Try to run the backup right after a reboot of the pve host (I know this is a pain in the neck) and see if you get better backup speeds.

    how to add a hdd more in ProxMox

    I removed the 4 GB module and installed 2 x KTH-PL316E/8G. Use the manufacturer's "memory finder" to get the compatible RAM modules with your server.

    how to add a hdd more in ProxMox

    The size of the disk depends on what you want to do, but if you're asking if the default Proxmox installation will fit into 180 GB drive... it will :) Make sure you buy ECC RAM for the HP Microserver (e.g. Kingston KTH-PL316E/8G)

    how to add a hdd more in ProxMox

    With only 4 GB of RAM forget about ZFS! In general the steps you need to perform when you're installing from scratch are: Step 1: install proxmox on the SSD Step 2: partition the 1TB drive (GPT scheme preferably), format in ext4 and give it a mount point Step 3: add it to /etc/fstab so that it...

    how to add a hdd more in ProxMox

    You need to partition and format the drive before you do something with it, just like in any OS pretty much. If you have enough RAM (e.g. 16 GB on the microserver) then use ZFS, then add the pool/dataset from Cluster -> Storage -> Add so that it is visible to the system. Everything you need is...

    [SOLVED] Large hidden files in my \dump backup folder

    The .dat file is the temporary file during backup, for instance I launched a manual backup and observed the /var/lib/vz/dump folder: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Nov 10 19:43 vzdump-qemu-103-2017_11_10-19_43_52.tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94449936 Nov 10 19:44...

    OpenBSD 6.1 slow root login, slow service restart and system reboot

    Here is the outcome of a full day of testing: with the Xeon E3-1220L the situation is a bit better, root login takes less time than before, service restart also. Looking forward to seeing a fix in the future, no matter where it comes from, OpenBSD or KVM :) Update: after a day or less, the...

    OpenBSD 6.1 slow root login, slow service restart and system reboot

    I will change the CPU of the microserver with a Xeon E3-1220L which I received today from ebay. Let's see if that will change anything as the Celeron G1610T does not have HT, VT-d, AES NI, AVX, etc. Once I do the tests, I will share the info.
