For VMs ensure that the VirtIO balloon driver is installed so that PVE actually gets the correct values reported from the OS running in the VM. For example, if Windows is running as OS then check https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_VirtIO_Drivers

check!
I also installed qemu-guest-agent in Linux VMs, but here also still not the correct values.

Not sure if this is a proxmox 7 thing or not, but I thought I would post it here. What does it mean when the Wearout indicator is a negative number? I haven't seen that before. Running VE version 7.0-10

can you provide the output of smartcl for that drive ? (i.e. the attributes)

I can reproduce that here, we'll look into a fix. Thanks for the report!

Since proxmox version 7 I get annoying storage problems. When clicking on the individual volumes in the dashboard, either only "loading", "communication failure" or "connection timed out" is displayed. With Proxmox VE 6.4 everything worked fine. Due to this "error" no virtual machines or containers can be created, here also the errors described before are displayed.

Maybe someone has already found a solution.

It seems that recently not only memory problems occur.

need2gcm · Jul 20, 2021

You've got at least one bad disk there @frox . Time to do some testing and/or replacement.

frox · Jul 20, 2021

@need2gcm The hard disks seem to be okay, I just checked the S.M.A.R.T values. Furthermore, the problems occur with three hard drives, two of which are just half a year old, so it must depend on proxmox...

ness1602 · Jul 20, 2021

Disks can die from day one, that doesn't mean a thing.

frox · Jul 20, 2021

That's possible, but the disks are still in perfect condition.

need2gcm · Jul 20, 2021

Well regardless, I suggest starting your diagnostics with vda1 since it is having I/O errors and buffer issues. It is likely what is causing both your storage issues and the massive amount of IO Wait I can see in the CPU graph.

What is vda1?

frox · Jul 20, 2021

Vda1 is the /dev/sdb1 disk that was passed to a vm. This type of IO errors also occurs only since the upgrade to version 7.0. This is all very strange behavior.

t.lamprecht · Jul 20, 2021

Please open a new thread for specific errors that may be completely unrelated to the release itself, and even if they would be related, longer sub-discussions are not ideal for all involved, they crowd this thread here for others and make it easier to miss posts for those who want to help or have similar issues.

FWIW, I'd checkout switching from new io_uring to older aio, as described in the release nodes.

Repsnake · Jul 21, 2021

After upgrading to 7.0 I had an issue where i used ifupdown2 on one of my nodes and it triggered the other 2 in my cluster to restart their networks as well. is this a bug or something just in my setup? As a framing i was stupid and installed ifupdown2 After i did the upgrade on my 3rd node because it was only installed Prior to the upgrade on nodes 1 + 2

Hm, shouldn't the point of RAID be that it works even if it fails(up to a point)?

Maybe you can look into the thread I made regarding these quirks (and add to it, if you find workarounds or so...).

rtlarose · Jul 21, 2021

Hello, I was able to successfully upgrade from 6.3 to 7. The only issue that I am seeing is that the graphs no longer show the stats. I will add that it was showing for a day but no longer do. I am unsure if it was from an update? Please if anyone has insight, it would be much appreciated!

Please see attached for a screenshot

rtlarose · Jul 21, 2021

Nevermind.... I ended clearing the browser cache and reloaded so now it is showing. Sorry...

Matthew Daniel · Jul 22, 2021

Painless upgrade from 6.4 to 7.0 for me on four clusters and clean install on a fifth cluster. Thanks for the great work!

One bug I've found is with Task History:
- Cluster-wide Task History is correct.
- Node Task history is correct for the web GUI node I'm logged into, but Task History for all other nodes on the cluster repeats the history for the local node.
- VM Task History is correct for VMs hosted on the node I'm logged into, but VM Task History for VMs on other nodes in the cluster is empty

I therefore have to log into the host node to get history for that node or VMs on that node, whereas on PVE 6.4 (and below) could browse Task History for all nodes and VMs on the cluster from one single web gui login.

This happens on all my clusters.

I have a fresh PVE 7 installation for testing and manually adding VLAN interface (vmbr0.1) on the bridge (vmbr0) like I did on PVE 6.3 does not work. Adding "hwaddress" option to them helped (I have not tested if it's needed for both or maybe just one of them), even if our network is not MAC-restricted. Hint: reboot was needed in my case (after testing different network settings).

Well, it looks it's not so simple. Adding "hwaddress" works only for the node - now the node has a network connection, but virtual machines on it do not have it. Could you tell what can be the problem?

VMs have MAC address assigned automatically during creation and they use the same bridge (vmbr0), so it sounds similar enough to the vmbr0.1.
