Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.1 available!

Plus I noticed that console is not available for such containers. Is it a bug or a feature?
Currently by design, it basically shows the stdout/in of the main init process, but not buffered.
We want to explore making that output a ringbuffer, that saves the last few KiB of output and provides that as read-only view, and additionally providing shell access to the CT insides as options to improve that experience.

I think having a buffer of stdout is a great idea - especially if the user can specify the buffer size and there is a way to allow it to be read/processed by other containers or VMs for log review.

However - you still need some form of console access (similar to "docker exec") for troubleshooting and managing your containers. It doesn't have to be complex but it is necessary.

Yes, that's what I meant with:

Hello!

I did create a Jackett container (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/jackett) and it is up and running!

No I'm trying to create a bazarr container (https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/bazarr) and I'm receiving this error:

Code:
Detected OCI archive
TASK ERROR: unable to create CT 6767 - Invalid argument

I tried to change some parameters but nothing has changed.

So... which "argument" is this?

Is there any log somewhere?

Thanks.
Regards.
 
What's the issue with Nvidia vGPU drivers not able to compile in 6,17 kernel? The recommendation is to use 6.14. How long before we can start using 19.,x release branch drivers with Proxmox 9.1?
 
The ChangeLog of QEMU 10.1 states

Network​


  • QEMU now attempts to arrange for larger buffers when using NBD over Unix sockets, which dramatically improves throughput. On MacOS, this works out of the box; but on Linux, the system administrator must make the following changes:

$ cat /etc/sysctl.d/net-mem-max.conf
net.core.wmem_max = 2097152
$ sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/net-mem-max.conf
Following this a relevant gain in speed is possible (for disk migrations).
Is the suggested bigger buffer part of the update or do I have to set in manually?

Just deployed 9.1 in my staging cluster for testing. Running into odd backup behavior where I'm getting a ton of timeouts, the VM will hardlock and it takes a full reset of the VM to bring it back.

3x Nodes, Ceph, 20GB LAGG's between all. Zero issues on 8.X and 9.0.X.. So its new with 9.1. Running PBS 9.0.20 with SSD's for storage. Can go into more technical detail and specifics if needed.

Just tried it. On the host, using
Code:
pct enter <id>
works.

Code:
~ # pct enter 100
~ # ps aufx
PID   USER     TIME  COMMAND
    1 root      0:00 ./podinfo
   29 root      0:00 /bin/sh

manually. Currently, Proxmox VE does not modify the net.core.wmem_max setting automatically.

please run apt install pve-qemu-kvm-dbgsym gdb to install debugger and debug symbols and the next time it happens, please share the output of the following commands
Code:
qm config 117
qm status 117 --verbose
gdb --batch --ex 't a a bt' -p $(cat /var/run/qemu-server/117.pid)
using the correct ID instead of 117 each time. Any messages in the system journal around the time of the issue?
 
Is it a good idea to combine kernel 6.17.2 with ZFS 2.3.4? ZFS 2.3.4 has no official support for 6.17 kernel and ZFS 2.3.5 with 6.17 kernel support is already released.

We distribute ZFS ourselves and backported the relevant patches for full compatibility with the 6.17 kernel.

So ZFS 2.3.5 would not provide any benefit here, and it was released only very recently, so including it in the release was not a possibility, especially as we do not want to release with such a freshly tagged version without significant testing and production exposure.
