    [TUTORIAL] PVE (rootfs) with autosnapshot, boot into snapshot and easy rollback on BTRFS Raid1 for Bios or UEFI

    Occasion: Like my one mentioned in the zfs boot thread my intention was to use BTRFS as root filesystem because the resource finger print is smaller and BTRFS is mostly faster than ZFS (Source: actual phronix performance test). While my testing time for this thread some negative experiences with...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE (rootfs) with autosnapshot, boot into snapshot and easy rollback on ZFS Raid1 for Bios or UEFI

    Occasion: Actually, my one wanne build such a boot environment on BTRFS Raid1 because of my experience with timeshift in the desktop field, but while my experimentation the question comes up, of course, is this possible with zfs. And when one research the web for zfs snapshot boot menu solution...

    Proxmox boot completely destroyed(?) after creating a cluster. Fixing the boot partition?

    [SOLVED] Cannot boot past BIOS after Proxmox 9 upgrade

    I'm trying to start my server that I just upgraded from 8 to 9. When I turn it on, it takes some time to show a white rectangle for a milisecond on the top left corner of the screen and shuts down, and restarts to the BIOS. After that, whatever I do, I can't get it to go past that state. I've...

    Delay VM bulk start till after storages ready ?

    I have a case or two with "slow" storage imports causing VM start failures. In my case big"ish" ZFS pools takes quite a time to "settle" before the VM can start, so a reboot has the VM fail to start and needs manual starting. Anybody else having similar issues? The current solution I have, is...

    GRUB Hangs When No Monitor Connected or Serial Console Active

    I have a peculiar issue when my headless PBS boots. I do not run the PBS 24x7 as I only need to backup/verify data in small time windows, so I use a vzdump-hook script on my PVE to startup and shutdown my PBS when needed. If I have a monitor connected the PBS boots without issue. If I have a...

    [SOLVED] 8.4: "Fake" IDE drives from ISO images no longer supported?

    Hi everyone, I've seen a couple of posts around regarding this after the 8.4 upgrade this week and thought it was worth making a separate post to draw better attention: Previously there was a hack-around out in the wild which was (at least) being used to boot up macOS install media; in this...

    Guidance on shrinking boot-pool from 500Gb

    Since I was used to Truenas and other installations having a pretty robust host backup mechanism that doesn't require routine full HD images, I installed PVE on a 500Gb mirrored boot-pool. I've learned that restoring a PVE host configuration is somewhat cumbersome and rough. I have a cron job...

    [SOLVED] Restore PVE-OLD to PVE

    On my system with a working instance of proxmox, I was trying to test something by installing a new instance on a secondary drive. I wasn't paying enough attention to reallize that the old system wasn't going to boot by itself anymore, since it is now renamed from pve to pve-old-(something). Is...
