disk configuration

Hi everyone, Proxmox newbie here. I got a few questions regarding vm disk management. Context: The main usage for my PVE, in a home environment, is mainly to host a file server and a multimedia server (DNLA-like), plus a few other small VMs for testing and playing around. The PVE has the...

Hey there! So I recently had to reinstall proxmox because I messed some things up. Now I'm left with my 3 data disks listed under proxmox(node) > Disks, but I don't see any option to mount them and use the existing vm drives located on them. Running lvs which I saw on another post here doesn't...

Hallo liebe Community, ich habe derzeit das Probleme, dass ich teils bis zu 5 Sekunden Verzögerung auf den VMs habe und finde keinen Fehler. Erst dachten wir, dass es am Netzwerk liegt. Dort allerdings haben wir im Schnitt weniger als 20MB/s an Traffic und die Proxmox Server sind einen 10G...

Hi, I am new to promox VE. Sorry for my foo question. I have a LSi 2308 SAS Controller to manage some disks. (Most people don't use this. But second hand SAS disk are cheaper.) And using qm set 101 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/XXXX to pass-through a disk. I want to monitor disk status in 101, but...

I have a samba share from a truenas server in a vm inside proxmox to store all my backups, ISOs, etc. But a couple of days ago the status changed to unknown.

I have 1 R530 server with a 17TB virtual disk, plus a Dell md3200i with a single 35TB disk. Both disks are in proxmox and I can add them to the VM, however I'm trying to combine them as one big disk. I was looking into mergerfs to do this (VM is running Ubuntu), however I thought it might make...

I have one primary disk for running VMs (3.8TB Samsung pm9a3 u.2) and two 1tb nvme SSDs (Samsung 980 pro). I want to create a Truenas core/scale VM using 1TB virtual disk from primary disk and 2x 1TB nvme in Raidz1 to get 2TB usable space from my NVME drives. My usecase is just to use them as a...

I am very happy to discuss issues with you here. But I have a problem now. After I created a Linux virtual machine in proxmox, I allocated 40G of space to it, and then I wanted to check its real-time disk usage. Rate, for example, he uses 10G in the system. I want to get this approximate value...

Hey guys, I messed up my install. I should've debugged better before taking some knee-jerk actions. So last night, we had a storm which caused an area outage and I didn't feel too good about it. Next day when I tried accessing Plex running on one of my server, I noticed that none of the media...

Hello, is it possible to use the hard disk on which the operating system is installed also as datastorage? I have 2x 2TB hard drives. One is already used as storage.

I'm running a VM where the boot drive is on ssd's. I'd like to have one of the directories on the OS be backed by my spinning rust pool. On lxc containers I can select a storage option and a path to mount it at within the container, how would I do something similar for a VM? I may have...

Hello Proxmox Community, I am in need of some assistance with a serious issue that arose after modifying disk configurations for a VM instance in Proxmox. Following these changes, I've lost access to both the Proxmox GUI and the TrueNAS VM. The TrueNAS VM was completely inaccessible (no TrueNAS...

Assuming a setup where there is a separate boot disk or disks, and then ZFS storage pools for the actual VMs to live on, how much traffic, on a general basis, and especially write traffic, should be going to the root disk of a Proxmox server? We have two large, multi-core hypervisors with over...

At the beginning of the year I converted my server from running directly on TrueNAS to Proxmox with a TrueNAS vm. At that time I was able to get all the physical disks passed through to the VM and reconfigure the RAID within the TrueNAS VM, this information will become relevant in what follows...
