lvm

I just did my first proxmox install ever on a 500gb disk. I used all defaults so it is using ext4. After install I wanted to create my first VM and when I clicked create VM it said there is only 90gb available on the "local" disk for creating VMs: So I went digging into the interface to...

Hi, I had a PVE 6.2 install running for quite some time. Now, after creating a new VM, my server is acting up and I don't know why and how to fix it (even after extensive googling). When trying to boot the server, I get repeated messages of this form: EXT4-fs (dm-1): I/O error while writing...

last night I have upgraded my standalone Proxmox installation to 6 and rebooting ended up in emergency shell. I found that what prevent booting is the lvm volume I had in fstab, after commenting it, proxmox booted. I tried nearly all formats of mount in fstab and non of them worked. I tried...

Hi, very similar to this ancient thread my local storage local2 does not realize what it is, it has a mount point and setting in fstab as told in tutorials, but it displays this sentence (while idling): mkdir /dev/vg0/heavyload1: File exists at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/DirPlugin.pm line 109...

Hallo zusammen, wir haben aktuell einen Proxmox-Cluster mit drei Nodes in Betrieb. Nun möchten wir unsere neue HPE MSA 2052 an diesen Cluster per FibreChannel anbinden. Jede Node ist mit einem FC-Kabel an einen der MSA-Controller angeschlossen. Sehe ich es richtig, dass wir nun als erstes...

Hello everyone, I was attempting to format a couple of unused ZFS drives by using fdisk (g then w), and just like it warns you not to, I wrote a blank GPT partition to the drive that stores my LXC images. This drive was originally partitioned with LVM, and all that seems to be intact. I only...

Hello Proxmox Community, I'm new to Proxmox and the QEMU virtualization software, so please excuse anything that may seem a bit stupid lol, I've recently clustered my 2 servers for easy management, the host node, aka the owner of the cluster is having issues when it comes to creating virtual...

That's an overview of my architecture. Toe is a server I use to achieve quorum but I'm not sure if I even need it for that, but that's not the point of this post. I'm concerned about the shared storage volume (DELL MD3420). As you'll see below, I'm not sure if I have my LVM configuration set up...

i need to setup new machine with 6.2 i have old 4.4 with machine without lvm-thin storage and vm in qcow2 file and no lxc. now i interesting to use lxc together kvm. if i set no lvm-thin storage, with new version is possible to backup lxc machine in non lvm-thin storage situation or not? because...

Hi, I have an alpine container running postgres database, and I mounted a local LVM-thin to the /data/ directory to store the database data. I got two questions here: 1. Is there a way I could preserve this mount point when I delete the container? 2. Is there a way I could backup this mount...

I need to shrink a Proxmox-KVM raw volume with LVM and XFS. Now, XFS doesn't support shrinking as such. It's possible to hack around this with xfsdump and xfsrestore, but this would require 250G data to be copied offline, and that's more downtime than I like. Whats the alternative? I was...

I have created some VMs and VM templates on a PVE node for testing. The node has a SSD and 4 SAS drives. I installed PVE on the SSD drive and assumed when i selected local-lvm as the VM disks the VMs would all use the SSD for storage too. When I look under Node > Disks now I see that the usage...

I was hoping someone could help me correct an error I made. I am new to proxmox and just added some additional hard drives into my test server. After I added the discs they showed up in proxmox as /dev/sdb/ /dev/sdc/ and so on. When I went to create a new LVM to utilize the new /dev/sdb...

If I have only one LVM (not LVM-Thin) volume to use on Proxmox host, is there any rules to follow when create it? From the old days I recall that one should leave some % of VG space free so snapshot can be made if I do snapshot-type backup of running VM - is it true? So to say, in my old days...

Hello! I have a small cluster with my VMs living on LVM over iSCSI on a hp msa2050 SAN. I built it back in January and it was nice and quick - didn't even bother with multipath or any tuning because even with 10+ VMs running, it was fast enough. I left it running, doing nothing, until this...

Hi folks, how do I resize my LVM and LVM-Thin? I changed my main drive from a 60GB ssd to a 500GB ssd (cloned the drive with clonezilla). Then, I resized the root partition with gparted, and it seems all good so far. However, I do not see the extra space in LVM and LVM-Thin. While the new ssd...

Hello, I need some help please. Today after deleting a volume from a storage array, and later the lvm from proxmox, the service pvestatd isn't working. If I enter to the web gui, I see everything greyed with question marks. When I restart the service pvestatd it works for a minute, but later...

Currently I have this setup in a small startup: SAS DAS: 2x2TB HDD RAID1 (used for most of the VMs) 10x2TB HDD RAID6 (used as additional storage for VMs (OMV)) Server: 2x300GB HDD RAID1 (proxmox) 250 GB consumer grade SSD (VMs that need a bit more speed) All of the VM's have a daily or...

What am I doing wrong? I have a dell poweredge t110 ii and I've installed proxmox 6 on it, I wanted to use my raid 0 for my VM storage, it shows up in the Disks menu but all of the sub-menus and VM tab show "no unused drives" so I'm stuck any help would be gratefully received thanks Oliver...

Hi all, I have been testing out Proxmox on our lab setup which is 3 older Dell machines all equipped with 4 NICs and a Dell MD3200i iscsi SAN. For now I am only working on one machine. The modules and configuration is done according to the iscsi multipath documentation. Proxmox can see the san...
