lvm

Hello. I'm trying to create new docker vm using community helper script: bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/vm/docker-vm.sh)" Unfortunately, the script freezes on Expanding root partition to use full disk space Some investigation showed me, that it...

We're in the process of validating a PVE cluster setup that will be deployed to prod some time in 2026, and for that purpose, we've spun up the MVC (Minimum Viable Cluster) that mimicks, except in node count, what we're planning to have by then. As a result, we have three modern Dell boxen with...

I have an iSCSI LUN with LVM storage layered on top. I'm not sure if this is the best configuration, but I enabled fleecing to the same storage and snapshot-as-volume-chain. Fleecing used to work fine before I turned on the volume chain function and converted the .raw disks to .qcow2. Now it...

Hey everyone, A few recent developments prompted us to examine QCOW2’s behavior and reliability characteristics more closely: 1. Community feedback There are various community discussions questioning the reliability of QCOW2. We have customers (predating our native integration) interested in...

I've been playing with the new Snapshots as Volume-Chain feature. It works fine, but I've noticed that for each snapshot it creates a snapshot volume that is the same size as the source volume. I suppose this make a certain sense, and may even be a hard requirement, but it does pose a problem...

Hi, Proxmox VE 8.x boot stuck in emergency mode ("Failed to start" errors, garbled text, cursor freezes – see screenshots). No network, can't access web UI. Suspect Radeon GPU (512 MB VRAM) graphics issue. Help needed! System Specs: Hardware: [CPU e.g. Intel i5, RAM 16GB, Motherboard...

TrueNAS created a ZVol, Sparse: on; created a iSCSI target, Disable Physical Block Size Reporting: off. PVE mapped iSCSI target, "format" and use it on VM, works no problem. on VM creation, one than one vm-<ID>-disk-<ID> will be created. For example 1G disk created. The issue is after...

Hi I'm trying to configure shared iSCSI storage for my 3-node Proxmox cluster. I need all three hosts to access the same iSCSI storage simultaneously for VM redundancy and high availability. I've tested several storage configurations: ZFS LVM LVM-Thin ZFS share Current Issue With the ZFS share...

Hey, if I try to create a LXC Container on my Proxmox, it takes up to 5 minutes. The issue doesn't appear when I install a VM. While a container is creating, the disk usage for that disk is at 100% (checked with iostat -x 1) I also tried to write with "dd": root@pve1:~# dd if=/dev/zero...

Hey, on a shared storage with hundreds of VMs, I have one VM that seem to constantly switch to the "io-error" state. My setup: I have a non-thin LVM, that is connected via FibreChannel to the host. The physical volume is 8TB big. Only ~3TB is assigned to VMs, so I don't think it's an issue of...

Hello All, For powered-off VMs, we cannot view or query the size of QCOW2 disks on LVM storage — unless the VMs are powered on or activated via SSH. Is this a bug?

Hi. I've updated some of PVEs to version 9 to test the new snapshot support for LVM thick storage. I've created the LVM storage which is shared among nodes in cluster, checked "Allow Snapshots as Volume-Chain" during storage creation, moved some VMs there and when I go to VM -> Snaphosts it...

Hi. I've recently added an LVM thick storage to my PVE cluster which is a LUN shared between 4 of 5 nodes and everything works just fine except VM migration. I migrated VM from the 5th node which only has local storage to different node and shared LVM storage. Now I can't migrate it back. When...

Hello! I'm preparing to upgrade a cluster to pve version 9. The readiness script has flagged LVM autoactivation as a potential issue. Will running the script to disable LVM autoactivation interrupt running VMs across the cluster? I have a few nodes still on pve 7, but I will be updating them to...

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to share a deep dive into one of the notable new feature in PVE9: the enhanced snapshot functionality designed for legacy SANs. This feature represents a meaningful step forward in expanding PVE's compatibility with traditional enterprise storage setups, something many...

Hello, I found out that after proxmox starts VMs which have their disks on iscsi storage and are expected to autostart fail to do this because their storage is not ready yet. By the time I login to the web gui I can start the VMs by hand with no problem: ........... Aug 12 07:00:11 hv02...

Hello freaks, maybe I’m just being dumb right now, but I can’t seem to install a Proxmox server without it automatically setting up LVM on the system/root disk. I’d really prefer to work with classic partitions because I’m not a big fan of LVM. Maybe I’m missing something—please give me a hint...

Hello guys! Can i migrate on proxmox installation in LVM to ZFS without formatting the system? Thanks!

Hi everyone, We currently have the following setup running under VMware, and I’m looking into migrating it to Proxmox VE: One physical server: HPE ProLiant Gen11 One external storage system: HPE MSA 2060 FC, configured with a RAID MSA-DP+ array built from 24 HDDs The server is connected to the...

Hi All, I see others have noted this issue, but it was never clarified if PV/VG/LVM creation on each node should be handled automatically when creating a shared LVM over iSCSI storage at the cluster level. The primary node creates everything and storage.cfg syncs across however the other 2...
