lvm

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?

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...

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...

I created a filesystem (ext4) on my newly created logical volume. i can mount it using mount /dev/mapper/HDD-ISOs /mnt/lvm/ISOs/. It works just fine. if i try using fstab to automount it the system boots into emergency mode. fstab entry: /dev/mapper/HDD-ISOs /mnt/lvm/ISOs/ ext4 defaults...

I am a novice user of Proxmox, but at the same time delighted with it :-) I want to use Proxmox at home, for a home server, for my own use and that of a few friends. I have a question about good practice. I would like to have some virtuals and LXC in it. But I would also like some of these...

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...

If you are trying out bcache in your VM's and are using LVM storage in Proxmox, you might want to blacklist the bcache module on your host. I use LVM over iSCSI storage for my virtual machines. I was playing around with bcache in a VM. Worked great, until I destroyed the VM: I couldn't delete...

Hello all, I've got a VM running on LVM storage. The storage is /dev/vmstorage/vm-102-disk-0. I want to convert this to vmdk for import to an ESXi 7.0U1 host. What/which commands can I use to get this done as fast as possible? The VM is down, so there is no issue copying storage to vmdk...

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to mount a backup snapshot of a server with multiple LVM drives. A snapshot currently looks like this: │ vm/119/2021-05-20T12:41:21Z │ 8.03 TiB │ client.log drive-virtio0.img drive-virtio1.img drive-virtio2.img index.json qemu-server.conf...

Dear All Today I had some time to study and test LVM on my home server. I did some changes, but now I cannot revert the server to original setup. These are the tasks I did: - I physically added a 250 Gb Sata SSD on /dev/sda device. It was from my RP4 old server, and, to blank it all, I dd'ed it...

New to ProxMox. Added unpartitioned disk to LVM accidentally, had to remove (had not added any data to it) and probably fucked it up. Disk now shows as [Unknown] and I cant figure out how to remove it from the LVM and get it back to working (none of my vms will boot as the lvm-thin they all...

Hi, I'm trying to understand the following situation: We created this setup of disks in our Dell R710 Server: VD 0 = only one SSD 1TB VD 1 = RAID 10 (4 x SAS 600GB) VD 2 = RAID 1 (2 x SAS 600GB) # When I check proxmox about Disk details it shows me 7 disks instead of 3 virtual disks made...

Hello! I bought a HP Proliant DL380e G8 server with 2xE5-2450L and 64GB of RAM. I have 4 x WD Red WD40EFAX 4TB HDDs and 2 x ADATA 240GB 2,5" SATA Ultimate SU630 SSDs. The server RAID battery has been refurbished. Here are the RAID controllers on this machine: [12:08:36][root@zoltan]:~# lspci...

I created a VM and installed Debian with LVM LUKS partition and booted into it with no problems. I then installed Proxmox over this as per wiki and booted into it with no problems BUT I cannot connect to the web interface. Proxmox is working and I can access the console. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, Today I used CloneZilla to image my original 256GB NVMe disk onto a new 1 TB NVMe disk, with the option to resize the partitions proportionally. It looks like CloneZilla did what it is supposed to, the system boots up and if I go into the Disks view within Proxmox I see it now says...

Hi, I am planning to set up a new proxmox VE on a stand alone HPE DL380 Gen9 that has a Smart-Array hardware RAID controller for storing the VMs. (no SAN or NAS storage) I know I could set the controller to HBA mode, but I’d like to use the hardware raid features for easier raid management and...

Hi 2 all! I have a problem, Proxmox Cant remove image after migration. pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 6.2-2 (running kernel: 5.4.65-1-pve) pve-manager: 6.2-15 (running version: 6.2-15/48bd51b6) pve-kernel-5.4: 6.2-7 pve-kernel-helper: 6.2-7 pve-kernel-5.3: 6.1-6 pve-kernel-5.0: 6.0-11...

I've been trying to wrap my head around this issue for awhile now. I have Proxmox hosted on a Dell R720 with various drives put together into virtual drives using Dell's RAID card. Everything works well except for an about 15 minute delay during booting. The console shows: Reading all physical...

Hi, I'm struggling with multipath and lvm configuration. I know it is not directly related to PBS, but on this there runs PBS 1.0.11 (Enterprise subscription). I want to use a SAN LUN (Multipath with 2 links) as a physical volume, to run LVM on that and use it as a Datastore for PBS. Server...
