lvm-thin

Running Proxmox 5.2 with lvm-thin local storage for my VM raw disks. Looking for clarification on the output of the lvs command and the meaning of the Data% column. The lvs man page doesn't seem to explain data percent anywhere. The confusion arises since several raw disks have a Data% of nearly...

Hallo, ich habe mich gefragt ob es möglich ist auch das logical volume root mit in den thin pool zu stecken? Ich hab das gestern mal in einer VirtualBox ausprobiert und so einfach ist das ja leider nicht, da das Debian so ohne weiteres nicht von einem thin volume booten kann. Aber wäre es...

I'm preparing migration from Xen to Proxmox. Currently I'm testing Proxmox migration features - both live and offline. How does it actually work? In test environment I prepared 2 clustered Proxmox nodes with separate local storages LVM-thin configured. root@proxmox-nd1:~# pveversion...

Hello, Recently I was forced to hard-reboot a server that is running Proxmox because it was not responsive (frozen). After it rebooted, however, all of the VM disks (which are stored on an LVM thin volume) are inaccessible, with an error like Could not open '/dev/vg0/vm-106-disk-1': No such...

Backgroud: I've installed PVE on a standalone node, not a cluster. The physical ssd is 232.89 GiB as viewed from "Disks" under my node (named PVE). During the installation process I/it created: 1. local (pve): Content = VZDump backup file, ISO image, Container tempate > Type = Directory > Size...

Hello! I have an issue with adding the LVM Thin Storage to my Proxmox VE. I have created an LVM disk from the free space on my HDD, and then converted it to LVM Thin. (Using this instruction). VG name: pve, pool name is data So, what I have now: # lvs LV VG Attr...

After a bios reset I'm not able to use any of the virtual machine drives from the thin pool. I've tried following instructions for repair: lvconvert --repair pve/data But I get the error Only inactive pool can be repaired. I need to figure out how to make all of them inactive to do the...

When I upgraded from 4.4 to 5.1, I ran into a problem where the lvm-thin storage refused to start when the system was booting. I've forgotten the exact error code, but it was something along the lines of lvm2-activation.service error code 5. This of course caused quite a panic, even though I...

This stuff can sync LVM thin LVs and their snapshots: https://github.com/mpalmer/lvmsync I guess it could be interesting way to widen proxmox replication support beyond being ZFS-only solution.

Hi. I have some nodes with a local LVM Thin pool. On one node the metadata pool is full and I cannot start any new containers: root@node3:~# lvs -a -o+metadata_percent LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert Meta% data...

Greetings! We have just installed this amazing VE. Still running without any serious problems but a few. We use lvm-thin storage for the vm in question and need to reduce one of it's disk down in size. Initially disk was about 480Gb in size. First we cut the filesystem inside a vm. Next...

Hi Guys, on my Proxmox 5 I have to create several Windows 7/10 Virtual Machines. My server has an hardware RAID Controller Card (1 GB RAM with battery) and 4 SATA Disks attached to it. I would create the VMs with the following parameters: -Hard Disk Bus/Device: SCSI -target storage: LVM-thin...

Hi Our Server has 4 no's of 10TB HDD and with RAID1 so 2 drives My question is about creating the Storage for the VMs, i have installed Proxmox in drive 1, which has local and local-lvm storage where local is given 100GB and 9.9TB for the local-lvm, where we keep VM's right now. i need to add...

Hallo, im Zusammenhang mit einem Upgrade von Proxmox VE von Ver. 3.4.11 nach 4.4-13 haben wir zwei Effekte beobachtet, die uns im Hinblick auf die Stabilität bzw. Integrität der Gastsysteme etwas beunruhigt. Hardware: HP Proliant, 2 x Xeon E5-2620, 64 GB RAM, RAID 5 Gastsysteme: Linux-Server...

(I'm sorry if this is out of scope of this forum, but I hope some experts here might be able to help me) I'm having a problem with LVM Thin Pool and Volume. After the metadata full and my attempt to extend it, the thin pool and lv data are now all at 0% Here is the step of what happened: My...

We had a major issue today with a server which had some too many containers running over an lvm thin partition. Two of them had a log issue and the whole system collapsed with I/O errors we assume because the thin pool got too full. On restart only a couple of containers were working. We...

Hi there, I need to setup a pair of Proxmox servers. I think I'm not using full HA, because I don't know yet if I'm having shared storage. So by now I'll think that both servers will have independent Proxmox instance. The problem I have with my current VMs is that they get stuck while doing...

Hello, I'm new with proxmox , i have an LVM Storage and i want to migrate to LVM-Thin without losing my machines , is there any option ? My storage is /dev/hd2 which is 1.8 T.Byte and i'm using 500GB . Have you any idea about how to migrate without losing my data ? Because it's in production...

Hello, I'm trying to migrate my existing KVM images to Proxmox KVM virtual machine. I have to do that for my existing LXC containers. The storage i prefer to use is LVM thin pool, because this storage support live snapshot of all types of VM's - KVM or LXC based. For the migration purpose i'm...

Good morning, I cannot destry a CT. I receive message: "TASK ERROR: lvremove 'vmdata/vm-111-disk-1' error: Logical volume vmdata/vm-111-disk-1 contains a filesystem in use." Even from console: lvremove -f /dev/vmdata/vm-111-disk-1 Logical volume vmdata/vm-111-disk-1 contains a filesystem...
