Hello everyone, I’m currently working on an automation project to provision virtual machines in Proxmox 9 using Terraform (BPG provider) together with cloud-init. The virtual machines are based on Ubuntu 24.04 cloud images. The provisioning process works perfectly when the VM disk is created...

Hallo zusammen, ich würde gerne ein Proxmox Cluster mit einem IBM Flashsystem via FC bereitstellen. Da werden dann thick-LVM Volumes provisioniert damit wir die Volumes in Proxmox auf alle Server teilen können für unseren HA. Bei der Einrichtung mit Multipath und so ist auch alles klar, da habe...

Hi, I have an LVM2 thin pool on my Proxmox system that contains multiple thin volumes. Occasionally, one of the volumes unexpectedly grows very large, causing the thin pool to run out of space. This usually isn't a big problem, I just delete some data, maybe reboot the system, and I’ve never...

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...
