powersupport replied to the thread Failed backup - unable to activate storage.Hi, This looks like the NFS storage is temporarily disconnecting during backup. Since it happens on different nodes and VMs, it’s likely a network or NFS mount issue, not the VM itself. Please check NFS connectivity, server logs, and mount... -
Kkai.hofmann posted the thread proxmox-backup-manager acme account register behind proxy in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Hi, our Proxmox backup server needs a proxy server to access the wider internet. We have configured the proxy in the web ui and in /etc/environments. Echo $http(s)_proxy returns the right settings. Everything (apt, etc.) worked so far. When we...

cwt replied to the thread Virtual machine freezes with IO error.Jepp, typo. Storage is local, not local-lvm. @uzisuicida: your VM has cache.direct=true no-flush=false But dmesg shows: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 1:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache... -

Like.
Why not disable swap? It is not mandatory. You don't like it to be used anyway, so why provide swap in first place? Our production PVE servers are running fine without any swap. If you have enough RAM just disable and never think about again. -

Your swap isn’t on the zvol is it? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux#zfs_swap You could always set swappiness to 0…

I'd like to get PVE and TrueNAS upgraded to the latest versions, and start using the new truenas-proxmox plugin. I've not...

Jjboard replied to the thread Proxmox 9.1.5 stuck at initial ramdisk.I have no idea how I would do that or what files I'd need to edit. thanks for the pointers thus far. I'm not that good with Linux stuff. I will search google and ask my AI, But AI has been making crap up and breaking things for me lately..

22000gtacoma replied to the thread Caching drive replacement.Tried to do all this. I did not remove my AWS datastore. Guess I'm getting a permissions issue or something. I was able to do an s3 refresh that completed. When attempting to run a backup, they fail. I get the following message. I'm not sure how...

EeMarcus posted the thread [TUTORIAL] How can I enable TFA for a user via script? in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Hi, Because we often add whole LDAP groups to our Proxmox cluster and we enforce TFA for LDAP realms, I tried to script the TFA enablement for all users of a group. I can create a new key using oathkeygen I can add that key to a user with pveum...

G_gabriel reacted to UdoB's post in the thread What are these default root crontabs and what do they do? with Like.
Note that there may be additional systemd-timers, which are not visible in the classic crontab context. Run systemctl list-timers -a instead. You also did not mention user-specific crontabs, editable by everybody by crontab -e - including one...

UdoB reacted to Pabz9's post in the thread Per-node resource allocation view in PDM / Proxmox cluster with Like.
Thank you for your reply. I know that PDM is not really meant for managing or monitoring only a single cluster. Still, I find it useful because, in addition to my main cluster, I also have a PBS instance and another standalone Proxmox node, so... -
TThere does not seem to be a local-lvm. Also why would local-lvm not be suitable? For local I agree.

UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread [PVE 9/ZFS-Based VM/LXC Storage] Why Shouldn't I Disable Swap Inside Linux VMs? with Like.
At work ARC is not my concern since my employer is stuck with vmware. The RAM crisis is real though but I was hesitant to enable zram via an ansible-Playbook since I feared potential side effects. Thus I planed to do some benchmarking which is...

You might find this of interest: https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html Without SWAP I wouldn't use nohang. I only use it because linux doesn't always step in on its own for some reason. I didn't configure it further.
