Hi all,

I'm new to Proxmox VE, I have just installed one server and made a test with a Linux guest and all worked great.

Now I'm planning to install a WIN 2008 SRV guest, and I would like to know what's the best file system type for the guest, qcow2 or something else ?
What I need is the possibility to make guest VM backups...

Thanks in advance for any info!

Bye
Piero
 
you do not mean the file system, you talk about the virtual disk type/image format.

choose raw or even better, use block devices (LVM) directly for the virtual disks.
 
Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply! Yes I was speaking about image format...
It's possibile to do a "hot backup" of the VM link VMWARE snapshots ?

And what about disk type ? IDE, SCSI o VIRTIO ?
My first target is stability!

Thanks!
Piero
 
what do I need to do to get the LVM option in the web interface? Add an unpartitioned HDD and create an LVM volume on it? Is there a wiki page about that?
 
thanks for the link! I've already ordered a pair of ethernet adapters to make a dedicated link for DRBD, so once they come - I'll expose the DRBD volume to proxmox directly as LVM storage and see where it gets me :)
