We are still investigating if Ceph will be good for our production storage. We love the high availability and speed of Ceph, but there are certain aspects that we miss from VMWare and iSCSI storage. One of them being snapping a storage pool. We know this would be possible with Ceph if Proxmox...

Hallo, ist es möglich, einen Replikations-Job so einzustellen, dass z.B. die hourly-Snapshots nicht mit gesendet werden? Hintergrund ist, dass die Replikation zukünftig über Internet/VPN zwischen 2 Standorten erfolgen soll und die hourly-Snaps doch recht viel Platz belegen. Es handelt sich um...

Hi! I am new to PVE, and I am facing a problem that I don't know how to solve, I hope to get some help, thanks! I have created a VM with the system ubuntu-server and I would like to create an initial snapshot before proceeding to the next step. But when I try to create it I encounter this error...

running a very simple set-up with Proxmox on ZFS I'm looking to have snapshot of everything in /etc and other select directories. Essentially / without rpool and subsequent volumes. Since df -h shows mountpoint to be /root/RPOOL/pve-1 / i tried: zfs snapshot -r rpool/ROOT/pve-1@may2024...

I have a VM with a NFS share mounted that will be about a couple of TB, how can I exclude it from snapshots? If I will create a Proxmox HA (I still haven't had a look at it, so I don't know how it works), will it transfer the NFS share mounted with all the data? Thanks!

Dear, hello everyone. I have a storage server with truenas, on the other hand I have other servers with proxmox. What I need is for the disks of both the containers and the virtual machines to be stored on the NAS server. But what happens, if the share is nfs I can create containers and not run...

While currently not supported I have patched the perl module for LXC. /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC.vm You may apply the patch via patch /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC.pm LXC.pm.patch This is the content of LXC.pm.patch: --- /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC.pm 2023-06-24 15:08:37.000000000 +0200 +++...

Hi I am wondering about the mechanism of snap-shots in proxmox. At the moment, the resulting snap is of type "V" (virtual device as shown in the attribute bits of lvs command below) and not the usual "s" (snapshot) also the resulting "snap shot device" only shows in the "lvs" command but doesn't...

Syncoid (dataset synchronization between two different machines) and Sanoid (creation and prune of snapshots) are two ZFS (high-level) tools that combined give you hot spares (syncoid) and backups (sanoid) to roll back to them if necessary. Proxmox has the storage replication feature (pvesr)...

I might not be searching the correct terms, but I haven't really found any information on ways to manage snapshots for VMs running in zvols on ZFS. - Our system runs VMs on a zpool, and I let PVE automatically create a new zvol for each VM. - I have setup zfs-auto-snapshot to take incremental...

So i have been testing for a while what ways i have to replicate VMs and, because i was using ceph, tried rbd mirroring, following the instructions found here. Everything worked fine until i tried to do this on images that were used by lxc containers. Then i ran into all sorts of problems. The...
