    Merge CPU cores

    Hello everyone! Is it possible to "merge" CPU threads in proxmox to improve perfomance for VMs, that can't use many threads? For example, i have Dell R430 with two CPUs - 64 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2698 v3 @ 2.30GHz (2 Sockets), but the most important VM on this host has a license limitation...

    Q: Why is macOS CPU-perfomance massively below of Windows and Linux?

    Hi everybody I am observing a strange behavior on a freshly installed PVE 8.2.2 (Intel i5-7600K/4 cores, 64 GB RAM), which I have never noticed before. Two VMs are installed: macOS Sonoma (via luchina-gabriel/OSX-PROXMOX) and Windows 11. In both cases, the processor type is set to "Host" and...

    Performance of bonded network

    Hi I have tried to bond 2 network interfaces and it looks like it works. I have done the same on the switch and my synology. My problem is that the speed has not changed. I would have expected a 2Gbit between the 2 machines. What am I missing?

    [TUTORIAL] Hey Proxmox & Community - Let's talk about resources isolation

    This post is going to be pretty long too long to fit in a single post, but it represents a summary and lessons learned over ~3 weeks of experiments. This post is a half-tutorial and half-RFC so maybe PVE can be improved, as well as a half-tutorial how to actually achieve good results. This...

    *.pxar vs *.fidx

    There is a large (3tb) file storage of mixed content on a non-virtual host (text files, archives, videos, etc.). From the documentation it is clear that I can backup as a .pxar or completely as an .img device (after starting it in the console it says that .img.fidx is being created) But from the...
