    Data recovery from LVM

    I have a lvm where the metadata got full, I didn't understand what was wrong and attempted to fix it with lvconvert --repair pve/data This turned out to be a bad idea, as it now says that there is no data for any lv's. Similar to this question...

    minfree LVM config option during install

    Hi everyone, just thought I'd play around with Proxmox on a NUC11 I just bought and see what this piece of software that everyone is talking up can do. So far I'm pretty impressed with it as a hypervisor, and playing around with different options. I'm quite new to Linux so please bear with me...

    [TUTORIAL] Write Amplification Benchmark Results

    The last weeks I did 172 benchmarks to find out why my write amplification is so horrible and to see what storage setup might work better. In this thread I will try to summerize all the tests and explain what I learned so far. Edit: Will post link when finished.

    Convert LVM disk to ZFS to passthrough to VM

    This is a long winded tale, but in short: Originally had 4x HDD passing through to my VM 101 and each was a ZFS. The VM was TrueNAS and I handled a RAID pool within the VM. One of the HDD became faulty (/dev/sda) so I replaced with a new hard drive (originally /dev/sdf). However, I think I...

    [SOLVED] Corrupt GPT after Restore on PVE 7.0 from Backup on PVE 6.4 | QEMU VM, LVM-Thin Storage, OVMF

    Hello everyone I tested whether I could migrate VMs from PVE 6.4-13 to PVE 7.0-11, using backup and restore, which unfortunately fails. Both PVEs share an equal setup except for their Proxmox version, have an LVM thin pooled storage, were installed from Debian (Buster, Bullseye, respectively)...

    LVM drives do not get activated at boot and require to be manually activated.

    Hello, For reference I believe this started after upgrading to 7 (I also replaced my PSU at the time but not sure if that would cause the issue) but before I upgraded, it took a few minutes for my 2 HDDs to activate on boot. Now I have to manually deactivate using lvchange -an HDD-#/HDD-#_tmeta...

    New installation instead of upgrade to Proxmox 7 - general structure

    Hello, as the title already says, I would like to reinstall my Proxmox environment, as the current one has already been messed up a bit and partly serves as a playground. Among other things, this was there to gain experience with it. Now the question is, how do I best build the construct...

    LVM shows that it's full

    Hi there, im running into problems with my proxmox setup. I'm pretty new to proxmox and was not able to find a solution for this problem. Proxmox is running on a 512 GB NVMe SSD and there should be lots of space left on the drive, but proxmox tells me I'm at 97% usage. Did I miss to configure...

    Need help mounting a pre-existing zvol

    All - My dedicated NAS server died, and now I'm recovering my ZFS array. I've got everything sorted except for one piece. I had a zvol exposed as an ISCSI share, and had that imported into proxmox as an lvm disk for VM storage. Now, without the ISCSI portion, I can't figure out how to mount...

    Hopefully migrating to Proxmox

    Hey all. I'm looking to migrate to Proxmox. I'm currently running an Ubuntu 18.04 host as my KVM host server with LVM LVs(Raw Guests) as my backend. If I was to migrate Proxmox, would I be able to import my existing LVM backend as a VM guest source?

    [SOLVED] Reconfiguring LVM storage

    Hello, I'm trying to set up a node to host a file server. However, by default, Proxmox is assigning nearly all of the storage space to the LVM volume. Since I will only be hosting one VM on this node, and that VM needs extensive storage space, I need to reconfigure the storage volumes. Despite...

    [SOLVED] Which is better for performance and reliability?

    Hi, so because of what's happening to me (described here) I'll probably have to give up passing the disk to VM... (if anyone has a solution for this, it would be best) So I thought of just using an SSD through the host (as usual) and not pass it to a VM. The question is what to use? LVM or ZFS...

    [SOLVED] Removed Logical Volume through the Proxmox VE Interface

    Hi all, By inadvertence (I wanted to remove another logical volume), I clicked on "remove" on a wrong logical volume... Completely stupid, I admit. So, as this LV is the one one which I have everything, I want to know if there is a way to restore it (tried to look in /etc/lvm/backup and...
