Hi there, after running for about two years, one of my VMs came up with a strange behaviour, which led to a total desaster: Preamble: one VM noticed me about an issue with its filesystem and suggested that i should run 'fsck' to repair it. After rebooting the VM, the filesytem only started in...

Hello, Today I try to recover VM from achive and get a huge IO delay on PVE node. Before that, everything was fine. I noticed the following: when "space reduction due to 4K zero blocks" at end of the recovery report is great enough, I get huge IO delay. For example, when I recover this arhive...

Over the weekend I blew away two Proxmox hosts (clustered) and reinstalled the hypervisors from scratch (two single nodes). Because I had backups of everything, I thought I'd be fine to just restore the backup files and continue working. The hosts have multiple backups of most containers/VM's...

On a pve-4.4 server, hosted VMs stalls while restoring a gz compressed backup from a nfs connected storage. According to 'top', gzip uses 20-50 %CPU (Intel Xeon E3-1270 V5 3.6GHz 8 cores), so there should still be plenty of room for pve. The OS itself does not seem to be hogged in any way, but...

Hi, Currently we are using NSF storage for Backup in the same Datacenter. We would like to back our all Proxmox VMs to different Datacenter. Are there any replication software available like VMware vSphere Replication? What you guys are using and what is your suggestion? Any advice and...
