I enabled ballooning on my debian VMs after upgrading and they both report only the minimum allocated amounts and never expanded causing them to crash. This happened on two seperate pve hosts. Both hosts had 50gb ram free.

Ah, sorry I do know this but my math was wrong. We have a newborn in the house and my brain is fried. What's scary is that Google's paid Gemini Pro model couldn't figure this out and has definitively told me the metadata is corrupt and that I need to rebuild the pool Thank you

Here is the output zpool status -v pool: pve1storage state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 2 days 07:29:00 with 0 errors on Tue Jul 15 07:53:01 2025 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM pve1storage ONLINE...

Hi I have searched forums, used Google and asked AI but can't seem to figure this out. Forums and Google point toward issues with VM storage but I am not storing VMs on this pool. AI thinks the metadata may be corrupt on my pool (which I doubt...) My physical drive capacity would be 161T~, but...

I use NFS to mount a directory in my Debian VM and I tried the new virtiofs. It was around the same. Is that expected? virtiofs sudo sync; sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/output conv=fdatasync bs=1G count=5 5+0 records in 5+0 records out 5368709120 bytes (5.4 GB, 5.0 GiB) copied, 6.29989 s...

Hi My IPMI motherboard died so I have a 'gaming' motherboard which has a 5GB Realtek ethernet port. Unfortunately that doesn't work with the provided linux kernel and the latest PVE upgrade removed my kernel module. I can normally just re-install it, but I've enabled GPU passthrough on my VM...

Hey @hd-- sorry I just had a thought on reducing bandwidth. I know that you shouldn't backup to the same machine (i.e. PBS should be on a different machine to PVE) but wouldn't it be faster if I backed up to PBS on the same machine as PVE, then synced that to a PBS install on a different...

Ok seems this is a common issue and there are a few other threads so I believe Proxmox could benefit from adding some information to the support pages (I couldn't find anything). My fix was to create the CT like this (and in this exact order): Create the CT but dont start it Add your UID/GID...

Confirmation of the UID/GID working: root@actual:/home# id jayden uid=1000(jayden) gid=1000(jayden) groups=1000(jayden) Also, I have created a test file, on a mounted share then gone to the Proxmox host and can see that it was created by UID/GID 1000 so I believe that part is working.

Hi If I create a new unprivileged Debian 12 container, I'm unable to create a new user with a home directory that can be owned by that user. Any help would be appreciated :) Steps to recreate: Create a new Debian 12 unprivileged container Edit the LXC file (per below) Start it In the...

Okay :) I don't think English is your primary language so just wanted to let you know 'email address' is spelled incorrectly on your sign up form (it says "emailaddess" in the input box)

Sorry! Sync is what I meant to say (not replicate). I will edit my post

Hi With one PVE instance and two PBS servers I would like to understand the best way to great backups. I've included my assumptions below each one. Backup PVE to the first PBS server, then sync that backup to the second PBS server Pro: Less downtime on PVE guests Pro: Less resources needed...

Oh I see, I'm unsure sorry since I just schedule those to run automatically via the GUI. Perhaps look here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore#_examples

It's not clear what you're asking. Are you trying to backup files that are not in Proxmox? Here is my bash script to backup my non-promox machine to PBS !/bin/bash export PBS_REPOSITORY=root@pam@192.168.1.123:8007:pbs # Update the IP address and datastore name export...

@martin the title of this sticky post is a bit misleading given its now a paid service

Thank you It looks like it's listed as being supported on the LXC pages too. I have raised a ticket in the bug tracker to see if it can be added to the GUI / pveam https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4108

@martin should I raise a ticket in the bug tracker? Just looking for a reply even if it's a no so I know what the options are :)

Anyone? :confused:
