In general, if a filer OS (such as TrueNAS/FreeNAS) natively supports virtualization, why would one run that as a virtualized guest under a hypervisor OS (such as Proxmox), rather than natively? For example, The Proxmox VE KVM-based All-in-One with FreeNAS: why couldn't that be simplified to...

Hi, I'm in the process of finishing a new server build for proxmox virtualization. The system is running memtest to check if I'm safe with those memory sticks, and so far so good, finishing 7th pass with 0 errors so far. At the moment, my new server build goes like this: - motherboard...

I’m working on a home server project using a Dell R720 to serve as a NAS, PLEX server, and torrent grabber. This is my first server ever and my first experience in networking, server hardware, and Linux. Because of this, I do not know how to carry out the three functions listed out above so I’m...

Hi There, I'm posting this message in the hope that here I find some opinions, tips, alerts on building a new server. It's a loooong message, so please bear with me, I really need opinions to make an edutated choice. My intention is to build a server for a (very) small company, in order to...

I posted this on Dell's community as well but no responses as yet. So I think I have a serious problem that I need any help I can get. I don't know if the H310, the SAS cables, the enclosure, or the drives are bad. I will explain. I purchased a re-purposed R820 with an H310 and 10 1TB...

Hi Folks Need help getting SR-IOV (inifiniband) to work with Proxmox-ve. I’ve installed MLX_OFED_LINUX ver 4.3-1.0.1.0 installed on both the host (proxmox ve 5.4-3 and the guest (ubuntu 18.04). I’ve enabled SR-IOV in the firmware of the card, SR-IOV on MLX_OFED Driver and go the point of...

Hey all, I got annoyed manually patching the PVE web gui javascript to remove the "unlicensed node" pop-up across half a dozen machines every time there was an update, so I automated the process. Then I realized I could make pre/post install dpkg hooks for it so it'll fire every time the source...

Just picked up an Intel Coffee Lake NUC. I've ordered a single M.2 NVMe SSD (1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus). Wanted to run a few test VMs at home on it, nothing critical. Would ZFS be the best filesystem to use or would XFS/ext4 be better?

Anyone ever got the turbo speed to be triggered? I've done various tests to trigger it on PVE, no luck so far with turbostat and just watching /proc/cpuinfo. Also got a Windows guest running, it seems to cap at 2.69Ghz. current CPU frequency: 2.70 GHz (asserted by call to hardware) boost state...

Taking the Proxmox plunge soon and looking at the admin doc but, it does not state the space requirements for the Proxmox OS. What is recommended amount of space that I need where I am not going to run out of space on new kernels, upgrades, logs etc... but still keep to a minimum for a SATA dom...

Hi all, I'm considering setting up a Proxmox server, but I'm lost in the sea of possibilities ;) Maybe someone here has set up a similar system and could offer some advice... What I'm looking to build is primarily a file server, with some containers or VMs (internal webservers, databases with...

Proxmox VE Seems to have added this fairly recently I had a Proxmox VE 5.2 node that I did a dist-upgrade -y on for a new install. I looked at an older Proxmox VE 5.2 machine and it was not there. Datacenter-> Node -> Disks and it now has various storage creation options. One of them is ZFS...
