I have a persistent issue where a windows VM (only one I know of with this issue) has a persistent problem of the network speed dropping after a period of time. I'm using VirtIO with multiqueue and I get 10Gb speeds as expected, but after a few hours, the speed seems to drop to become capped at...

Hello guys, I am currently facing an Issue in our Proxmox Cluster as described in the Title. It does not matter on which Node the VMs are on, or if they run Linux or Windows, it happens on every single one. However LXCs in the same VLAN are not affected, since they dont use the VirtIO Adapter...

Hello Proxmox Community, I am addressing a longstanding and widely experienced issue where memory freed by the VirtIO balloon driver in Windows VMs isn't reflected in the Proxmox host's memory usage statistics. Despite successful ballooning shown within the VM, the host reports full RAM...

I currently have an Ubuntu and a Windows 11 VM running on my Promox node. The node has 24gb of RAM, and I have allocated 12gb to the Windows VM. I set up ballooning on both Proxmox and inside the VM, and the reported memory usage in the VM Summary matches Windows Task Manager as expected...

Hello All, Here's another technote in the Windows on Proxmox series. In Part 4, we quantify and compare IOPS, bandwidth, and latency across all storage controllers and AIO modes under ideal conditions (i.e., "unloaded"), utilizing Windows 2022 running on Proxmox with iSCSI shared block storage...

As I've been working on optimizing my Proxmox setup, I found myself wondering about the expected "Timing buffered disk reads" for NVMe and SSD drives in this environment. I've been using the hdparm -tT command to measure the read speeds of my storage devices, including both NVMe SSDs and SATA...

I have the storage on my proxmox host using ZFS (not even sure if that a good idea? It's a M.2 SSD 2TB mostly for Plex) -- should I use another filesystem ? on the host I can access the file at /Storage using SSH. I have Plex runing on one LXC and connected with "pct set 100 --mp0...

Does anyone have a working example of a host virtiofsd command line, and a VMID.conf arg: line, that works with the "new" virtiofsd in proxmox 8? I tried the arg: line I used from a pve7.4 VM (which worked fine once virtiofsd was running in 7.x) but it does not appear to work with version 8. I...
