Hi, After being VERY upset two days ago because of Proxmox and PBS shortcomings and sneaky traps, I have decided to rebuild my whole installation from scratch. I am lucky enough to have installed PBS and have extensive backup saved in an external drive. My PBS was virtualized as a qemu virtual...

Hello! I've followed the tutorial on the forum to install proxmox. Everything works just fine, except one thing. I'd like to make snapshots, but if i choose the LVM what i've created (Point 7 in the installation steps), i can't change the image format, there is only RAW image format, and i...

My current installation of Proxmox 6.3-2 is configured for my vms to run on a local SSD. I have the SSD setup as an LVM. I wanted to test the snapshot feature, but I receive an error, "The current guest configuration does not support taking new snapshots" I found I can use the "Move Disk"...

When I made a system image and purchased the automatic activation product from whmcs, the automatically created parameters were correct, but the VM could not be started, and the disk was also qcow2 Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer/Cloudinit.pm line 99...

I am a total noob and currently we have a Scale Environment. Long story short I would like to use ProxMox instead of spending thousands of dollars. When I export the VM image from scale the extension is QCOW2. My question here is how do import this image into ProxMox and be up and running. What...

Hi, I am new to Proxmox and need to create a VM from a very lightweight debian distro to run a Wireguard server only and found Ubuntu 20.04 Minimal to be sufficiently lightweight while being familiar for me since I have been using Ubuntu for a while. However, when I uploaded the Ubuntu 20.04...

Recently my colleagues asked me to set up several Windows Server (they need both 2008R2 and 2019) and FreeBSD (10 and 12.1) on our Proxmox hosts. The host server is brand new server free of anything so we go with 6.2 install, and it has h/w raid with LVM and ext4 on it (yes, old-schooler, I...

Greetings, my goal is to: create a qcow2 or raw image from the command line (I would prefer qcow2 anyway) without linking it to a new or existing VM; create a partition table and a file system in it; mount it, to access data (copy, sync, from a remote source) unmount the image when finished I...

Hi all, We are using openstack for most of our production instances with ceph storage backend. Recently we added additional hardware and setup Proxmox v6 and attached it to the same ceph storage cluster With the ceph storage integration we tested couple of instance and it works perfectly fine...

Hello gentlemen, we have such a problem. Proxmox VE 5-4-5 It turned out that when the size of the hard disk was changed by one of the VMs, they made a mistake or a glitch happened and it turned out they made 50TB for the 50GB place. Proxmox successfully made a backup of this virtual machine, but...

Hi All, Proxmox seems to offer a multitude of options for filesystems on the local disk(s). I started off by installing the default options on my 1 Node standalone server and noticed it configured the local 500GB SSD as follows: local - Directory - 94GB: /dev/mapper/pve-root (according to "df...
