If you have a thin provisioned disk (say 128GB), but the actual size of the disk is only 6GB after install, why does proxmox need to physically move 128GB of data when migrating a disk to another network storage location (even though the file is 6GB)? What is the limitation here? It does not...

Hey there, I am having some issues regarding backing up my LXC containers. The situation is as followed: I have a TrueNAS VM running that hands out 2 NFS shares. One for backups, and the other one for containers. Both of those shares have the "open" preset from the ACL manager in TrueNAS and...

I thought I posted this question earlier, but now I can't seem to find it. I'm new to ProxMox. I just installed it last night. I was able to successfully add a NFS share to it. I store all my ISO images on my NAS, and share it via NFS. Anyway, I shared it from the root of the ISOs directory...

Hi together I tried to configure a new NFS share on my Proxmox Cluster. I made a mistake and deleted the working NFS share from the GUI. After the storage change I tried to remount the NFS share from the GUI with the same name. I keep getting this error: I searched the web for a workaround...

Hi all, We currently have a ESXi setup, a few machines with a central storage that we use for lab and testing. We are looking into moving to Proxmox and I installed proxmox on one of the servers to try it out. We have a large number if ISO files from different vendors on a NAS. These are in a...

Hello guys, We have several hosts with directory type storage. Anyone tried to change it from directory to NFS? My idea is to start the NFS server on the node, configure the same directory to exports file and change the storage type from the GUI. (and by change I mean remove the existing and...

Hi, I have attached a large HDD over USB3.0 to my Proxmox node. I use it to store backups of VMs and containers. However, I also would like to run many media-heavy Docker containers in a VM (Plex, family photos, Nextcloud, etc) and would have to store the media on that said HDD. What is the...

Hello We are having an issue with templates. We use NFS to store KVM templates however it appears that eac node in our cluster requires a separate templates to be 'housed' there. Is it possible to have KVM templates living on NFS on one node and each cluster node be able to deploy from that...

Hello everyone! For some backstory, I upgraded my server, and I keep backups of all my containers and VMs on a NFS share. I have never had any issues restoring said backups, until today. After a fresh install of Proxmox 7.0-1, I went to restore my backups and it took longer than 15 minutes (the...

An idea has been percolating in my mind for some time now... My PVE hyperconverged CEPH cluster does not perform how I would like it to and I am considering non-hyperconverged cluster options for future growth (capacity). We have two "hadoop" high density SuperMicro HDD Nodes, purchasing a third...

Hi everybody i've setup my cluster with 2 nodes. now i got 2 monobay qnap nas where storage vm backup. i would make the two nas with identical configuration (same ip address and nfs share) in order to switch between the two devices( to deploy security backups), the nodes should always recognize...

Hi. We plan to buy 2 unit storage for datastore and backup storage. Currently our setup 6 node compute with proxmox-v5.2 hypervisor. Since our currently CEPH storage almost 6 years, so we plan to buy to replace with the new storage and approach not using hyperconverged CEPH storage anymore and...

Hello, I dont understant somthing with NFS. My proxmox is not on the same network as my NAS. There is a router / firewall in between. Proxmox - FW - NAS (=OpenMediaVault 5.6, NFSv4) If I understood correctly with NFSv4 only ports 111 and 2049 are necessary. So I have open this 2 ports on my...
