Is there a way to run fsck on a linux vm? As I understand it, the vm can't be running because the vm's system disk has to be unmounted before checking it with fsck. So I'm thinking I have to leave the vm shutdown. Can I fsck the vm's disk from the Proxmox console? Eric

Good morning all. I just rebuilt my Proxmox server after a hardware failure (bad SSD). I'm up and running again witn Proxmox 7.3-1. I'm running into an issue with the backup function. I started a backup of 5 VMs last night. As of now, 12 hours later, it has still not finished! No errors...

How important is it to turn on the "Discard" option for VMs when using an SSD drive for storage? - Eric

Is it possible to shrink the size of a thin-pool? I need to extend the pool's metadata LV, so I want to reduce the data LV to make room. Right now, the data LV is leaving the PV and VG with no free space. Can I do this with lvreduce? Is there a file system on the data LV that I need to...

Has anyone tried to run a Linux Mint Cinnamon VM with Proxmox? I get a "software rendering" error because the VM doesn't "see" the integrated GPU of my host Intel chip. Does proxmox virtualize the integrated GPU (or can it be set up to do this)? Thanks, Eric

When I installed Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon as a VM, it works overall, but I get a message that says... "Running in software rendering mode Cinnamon is currently running without video hardware acceleration and, as a result, you may observe much higher than normal CPU usage. There could be a problem...

I'm new to Proxmox and am trying to provision a blank SSD disk as LVM-thin storage for VMs. I think I have figured out what to do, but would like to double-check before actually doing it. Here is what I think I need to do. (The entire SSD has been partitioned as /dev/sda1 with GPT) pvcreate...

I am having a problem getting PVE to recognize my new SSD storage device. I've installed a Samsung SSD and have formatted it as EXT4 (single partition, GPT). In PVE, I can go to the tab for my server and the new SSD shows up under "Disks" as expected. Now, I want to use the new SSD to store...

I'm setting up a home server, and am trying to use Proxmox for the first time. I want to install Zoneminder as a VM or container, so I did a "create CT" and selected the Turnkey Zoneminder container. It won't install, and I'm getting weird errors (see below). Where am I going wrong? Thanks...
