    The issue is something that I didn't expect and I'm willing to mark this as solved. Two of the three nodes had maxed out primary hdds (not the pool) because of a backup job. I didn't notice it until now and didn't expect something else to be...

    Thanks to both of you for the links. I’ve saved them in case I want or need to come back to them later. For now, I’ve decided to leave things as they are, i.e., not to set up swap. With a total of 192 GB across the three machines, I still have...

    Solved, I did manage to completely move the VM to a separate PVE and the peaks went away. So it was from Home Assistant. Thanks all for time and help!

    Hello, I have other servers with Proxmox, and I ran the same command, it shows the same thing, but I don't have this problem of a virtual machine freezing and having to turn it off and on. Thanks.

    Nun ja SSDs mit plp können rein technisch Dinge, die Consumer-ssfs nicht können, das wurde auch mal sehr erschöpfend hier im Forum ausdiskutiert: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/powerloss-protection-plp-mythos.157003/ Was ich nicht überzeugend...

    How would it lead to data corruption or I/O errors under load? When data is requested to be read again, if it's in the cache (and hasn't YET been written to disk), then the cached data would be given back to the requestor. Where you run into...

    Please check if you can disable the offloading in the nic bios. Many nics have separate bios config utility

    I had installed Avahi on Proxmox, VMs, containers, and Linux laptops and was able to access them via .local name. I have three Proxmox servers in a Ceph cluster and one Proxmox on a sperarate NUC connected to a different switch. Then it stopped...

    Hello cwt, Do I need to disable the disk cache? Or what should I do in this case? Thank you so much for your help.

    not sure how the url decoder decode this, but when i do it on the command line i get similarly garbled output: printf $(echo "%C3%AB%C2%8C%C2%80%C3%AD%C2%98%C2%84" | sed 's/%/\\x/g')" output: ëí ( i replace the '%' symbol with '\x' so that...

    I think this is because we get ldap values already utf-8 encoded, but treat them as if they are not. sent a patch[0]. [0] https://lore.proxmox.com/pve-devel/20260417110451.134766-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com/T/#u

    Thank you for the quick reply! The patch that @Hannes Laimer posted does seem to address the encoding problem. After applying it to /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Auth/LDAP.pm, restarting and resyncing the realm, the encoded bytes stored for the user in...

    I did an install where one host of a three host cluster had a dead RAID controller. To reach quorum, I went ahead and installed PVE to a flash drive and joined the cluster for HA failover capacity, however no VMs on that host. This is a...

    So create a new datastore and make the backing path point to my new disk? I don't have caching setup for my main datastore. Only reason it was setup is for AWS S3 because it was required.

    @proxuser77 If you boot off ZFS they do not create swap to avoid problems: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux#zfs_swap https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pve-installation.html#advanced_zfs_options

    And another piece by Chris Down why he recommend to use zswap instead of zram: https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html It has some nuance though, so better read for your self ;) And thanks to @UdoB for his hint on...

    Also just realized, I believe the original disk was in a zfs by itself. The caching was then pointed at the zfs pool I believe.
