Hello Proxmox Community!
We are using Proxmox since 3 years ago and we are very satisfied by this Virtualization Enviroment. We have only some worries about support on the old versions.
Let me explain better. We are still using ProxmoxVE 2.1 on Debian Squeeze and we know that the repos are still online (http://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/squeeze/pve/binary-amd64/) but we need some reassurances that this repo will be online for a least another year to eventually rebuild or install new cluster servers.
How long you will provide those packages online? I should create a mirror repo for us?
Question no. 2:
We are heavily thinking to subscribe to Proxmox Support Service for our clusters. Unfortunalely we had to recompile the pve-kernel to include OCFS2 support and so we have our custom kernel that need to be recompiled every upgrade. This is the only option possibile to use an iSCSI SAN without involving LVM that is not very efficent on the utilization of the free space (no sparse files, only fixed partitions, free space of the vm marked as used, etc..).
By the way, we're running OCFS2 for 3 years without any issues and we're very happy with it, even if redhat has dropped the support for this Clustered FS.
Can you provide the support service to us even with this custom kernel?
