We are proud to announce the release of the second beta of our Proxmox VE 5.x family. Based on the feedback from the first beta two months ago we improved a lot on the ISO installer and of course, on almost all other places.

Whats next?
In the coming weeks we will integrate step by step new features into the beta, and we will fix all release critical bugs.

Can't wait for final 5.0 :) Thank you for your hard work. I'm trying my best to push Proxmox at work ;)

The disk cleanup on install now removes correctly the old stuff. No need to do manually dd if=/dev/zero of=/old/disk before reinstall anymore. Thank you guys ;-)
 
Any chance this release includes updated mpt3sas drivers? (e.g. 15.00.00.00)

EDIT: FYI -- Loaded it up quick to take a peak -- looks like it includes 14.101.00.00. Any luck/chance we could get the included mpt3sas driver bumped up to latest prior to final release?

that's the version included in 4.10.. any particular reason why you need a newer one?
 
Just wanted to report a possible Microsoft Edge browser bug with proxmox. When using Windows Edge browser (latest creators update) and uploading an ISO file, the % uploaded does not update, it stays at 0% (even though it continues to upload in background). It works fine on other browsers. thanks!
 
I installed the beta 2 on a server that works perfectly with version 4.4,
I notice a very large consumption of memory (No VM start, fresh install).

"KVM" use 9Go ram :eek:

if you have a kvm process, that means a VM is running..
 
I've just installed Proxmox v5.0 beta 2 and I'm getting a few errors/warnings on boot:

Code:
BERT: Can't request iomem region <...-...>.
WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...
[FAILED] Failed to start Set console font and keymap.

The BERT error appears to require a kernel patch (???) for my Supermicro X9SCM motherboard.

The lvmetad seems OK to ignore but can it be safely disabled modifying /etc/lvm/lvm.conf?

All of the messages appear to be harmless since everything is working but I'd prefer to have no errors/warnings during boot if possible :)
 
It is better it takes more time for finals release. Better more testing and stable release :) . So no stress...
 
I'm trying to use the Ubuntu 17.04 LXC template but when creating the container it says unsupported Ubuntu version '17.04' ?
 
Got it. Thanks!

Any idea when the new pve-container will be pushed to the stable/subscription repo?
 
Probably not related to proxmox but to kernel. LVM disk starts to flock when VM disk is tried to be deleted. Setup is Proxmox Blade and FCoE to 3Par 8200 utilizing 4 paths over FCoE.

As reported on Ceph tracker (#15569):

Ceph 12.0.2-pve1 has redundant logrotate scripts, which result in this daily email:

Our Ceph packages don't have redundant logrotate scripts ;) The ones in Debian and the ones provided by the Ceph project (which ours are based on) use different Debian packaging - one has the logrotate in ceph-common, the other in ceph-base, and neither cares about the others' quirks. Since our pve-qemu-kvm package depends on ceph-common, you initially get the ceph-common package from Debian Stretch installed. When you then install the Ceph packages from our repository (e.g., via "pveceph install"), the old logrotate script is not cleaned up because it is a conffile. We'll include some kind of cleanup in our next Luminous packages (based on 12.0.3).
