    DAS Shared Storage mit Snapshots

    Hallo zusammen, ich bin vor kurzem günstig an 2 HP Server + eine MSA mit FC für mein Home Lab gekommen. Jetzt versuche ich mich ein bisschen ausserhalb meiner gewohnten ESX Welt fortzubilden und probiere mich gerade mit Proxmox. Soweit sieht das alles sehr vielversprechend aus, aber an einer...

I am not able to make snapshot backups for LXC containers on NFS storage, so I am looking for something better.

    Taking suggestions: Samba Previous versions implementation

    Is it possible (or conversely a terrible idea) to expose zfs snapshots to a container? My goal is to enable 'previous versions' via samba's shadow_copy2 vfs object, preferably backed by zfs snapshots, for document storage that can be recovered without IT (me) intervention. The documents in...

    Snapshot Screen Blank For VM on 4.41

    Hello! I am a complete N00B to proxmox and have been doing some testing of the Proxmox package to see if it meets my needs. So far I think it is quite an impressive package. On one of the VMs I set up, I was previously able to see the "Now/You Are Here!" status on the "Snapshot" tab. I was...

    Advice on filesystem for fast snapshot and backup

    Hi there, I need to setup a pair of Proxmox servers. I think I'm not using full HA, because I don't know yet if I'm having shared storage. So by now I'll think that both servers will have independent Proxmox instance. The problem I have with my current VMs is that they get stuck while doing...

    LXC Bind Mounts and VM Snapshot

    Hello Why when I add shared folder like in https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/LXC_Bind_Mounts snapshot function becomes not active tor vm. Is some way to fix it. I think, mounted folder shouldn't affect for snapshot, snapshot should work only on lvm storage and vm.conf file.

    iSCSI any way to get Snapshots?

    Hi there, I am about to perform a restructure of our virtual environment and as such upgrade to 4.1. I currently present iSCSI to 16 servers, have a multipath device configured and LVM on top of that. Obviously I can't have snapshots on LVM since it required RAW VM disks. I just wondered if...
