Hello Everybody,

i've installed Proxmox 4.0 on my test system and have restored my first backup, but now a problem has emerged.

Every VM i start (Restored backup or newly created VM) failes and i get this error message:

Running as unit 101.scope.
kvm: -drive file=/var/lib/vz/images/101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0,cache=none,format=qcow2,aio=native,detect-zeroes=on: file system may not support O_DIRECT

My System
  • CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9550
  • MB: ASUS P5K/EPU
  • NB: Intel P35
  • SB: ICH9
  • RAM: 8 GB DDR2
  • 4x HDDs are connected to onboard controller (WD VelociRaptor)
  • all 4 HDDs are configured as RAID-Z1
  • OS and VMs are on that RAID-Z1

i have installed all updates and already changed the cache options for the virtual HDD, but no luck so far.
Using VMDK as virtual disk produces same error.

please help ;)

Please define a ZFS type storage on the Datacenter panel. This is required if you want to use ZFS.
 
It's working !!

many thanks.

(and the backup restore was much faster this time)

Can i still use the local storage for (container / ISO files) or should i completely ignore it ?

Best regards,
