filesystem

Wasn't the case in the past, but is it possible these days to install Proxmox directly (not on top of Debian) without committing the entire physical disk to that filesystem (as I recall, had to be ZFS)? TIA

Hello, I am digging up a old subject : Deleting properly a FileSystem. I know that there is a very similar subjet here but the solution is for a Datastore not for a FS. I am unable to recreate a FS with the same name of a FS that I have previously deleted. Here is the full procedure : # List...

Hello, I have a VM with too much space allocated and am trying to shrink it's disk from 200G to 100G. Filesystem of VM is BTRFS and of Proxmox ZFS. Steps I've done: 1) Boot into gparted and resize the btrfs partition from almost 200G to 95G (used partition space does not exceed 100G) 2)...

I did a really dumb mistake due to my lack of experience I was trying to remove cifs from hetzner there causing problems. By mistake, I ran this code root@z1 /mnt # mount -f -a /mnt/pve/Google my df went from this df: /mnt/pve/Google: Host is down df: /mnt/pve/Test: Host is down df...

In an up to date Proxmox install, I have root on RAID1. There is another partition on ZFS, which has two VMs. There is some free space in a deleted partition adjacent to partition 5, the ZFS partition (BTW across sda/sdb/sdc/sde), where partition 4 used to be. I am trying to get partition 5 to...

Hi there. I got a problem with a node on my cluster. Here is the conf: Proxmox 7.1 . I tries to remove a lvm-thin provisionning via Datacenter Webui interface. I rebooted one of the nodes where the lvm thin is and i got a read-only filesystem. the system is installed like this ...

Proxmox is using a ZFS raid1 storage. On there, a disk has been created for a VM. This disk is currently formatted as ext4. Does that make sense? I guess its up to me. I'm just double checking. I might format the disk to ZFS, since it has the ability to check integrity.

I have Home Assistant and Ubuntu 20.04 running in virtual machines and every day I come home to find the console flooded with these messages. I ran a SMART test on my SSD and it came back clean with no errors. Sometimes when I reboot the VM it starts back up fine, other times I have to run fsck...

Dear Proxmox Community I recently started renting a dedicated server. The Provider allows for automized installation of Proxmox VE 6, which I've chosen. The server has 2 SSD's of 74.5G and an additional HDD available. However, the installation was done (as to be expected) on a single drive...

Hallo, dank einem Beitrag habe auf eine Frage von mir habe ich nun meinen Server auf ZFS umgestellt. Nun stellt sich mir die Frage: XFS oder ext4 als Gast FS? Bisher war ich immer ein Freund von XFS: - defrag online möglich (auch unter Linux relevant; ggf. weniger/gar nicht bei SSD?) - stabil...

I'd like to create a virtual hard drive and mount it to multiple VMs, some with read-only access. I do not want to share anything with the host and do not want to use networking to accomplish this. Is this something that's possible? Thanks.

I am trying to decide between using XFS or EXT4 inside KVM VMs. My goal is not to over-optimise in an early stage, but I want to make an informed file system decision and stick with that. Situation: Ceph as backend storage SSD storage Writeback cache on VM disk No LVM inside VM CloudLinux 7...

Hi all, since today, we have an issue with our proxmox / ceph. We already activated ceph balancer I hope someone can help us.

This is my first time running my own virtualization environment. PVE looks like the best option. I'd like to get some advice on setting it up. I have a Supermicro box (HW RAID 1 available) with the following config 2x WD Red 4TB drives 1x 2TB NVME SSD 1x Xeon E 2136 2X 16GB RAM 2X 1Gbps NICs 5...

Hello, When i want to add files to my vm i need to upload them to internet and then i need to download them via the wget command. Is there no nice filesystem / FTP so i can drag and drop my files instead of doing this all the time... This is making me so frustrating because it takes so long...

Hi there, after running for about two years, one of my VMs came up with a strange behaviour, which led to a total desaster: Preamble: one VM noticed me about an issue with its filesystem and suggested that i should run 'fsck' to repair it. After rebooting the VM, the filesytem only started in...

Hello, We have Proxmox 4.4 installed on VDS with ZFS and several VM running on it. After running regular nightly VM-snapshot, sometimes VM filesystem becomes to mount in readonly (all VM running Debian ext4 with SCSI VirtIO and no cashing mode), some resent failures got system in non-bootable...

Hello, I was wondering how to make it so that each guest filesystem was plainly available to see/browse/change on the host. Like the root of the guest being on the host as /vms/<containerid>/{/etc, /var, etc} And if so, where would those be located. Thanks!
