Yes, because LVM volumes are RAW devices, and thus unable to store files. ___ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
[PVE-User] lvm storage
Hi there, If I add a second physical disk "lvm2" to a PVE node, which is more convenient: 1. Mount it from the web interface Datacenter-> Storage-> Add-> LVM. 2. Mount it with the mount command and then from the web interface to mount that directory What I noticed is that if I choose option 1 only "Raw disk image (raw)" option appears as a disk format on creating a new "VM". Is that correct? -- Luis G. Coralle ___ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
[PVE-User] Nat Networking Issue
Hi all, I am trying to solve a nat networking problem. An already opened thread can be found on serverfault (http://serverfault.com/questions/618408/proxmox-nat-networking-issue) by me. What could be done wrongly ? What is my mistake ? Is it logical or syntax fault?

Re: [PVE-User] backups of LVM disk images
Hello Dietmar, > No, your assumption is wrong. We use KVM based 'snapshot' feature (also > called live backup). Ok, thanks. I was able to validate that indeed. (backup_cancel in the monitor console stopped the backup. perfect!) Is it normal to see a considerable impact on VM performance even though ionice appears to be used? ___ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user

[PVE-User] backups of LVM disk images
Hi all, We have our disk images stored inside an LVM volume group. Each KVM vm has his own LVM volume, so it's not a file on the filesystem. I am trying to configure backups of all our vm machines. When I launch a backup, I am wondering how this is happening internally, and how I can make sure that what is backed up is a valid backup? I was expecting that since it is inside an LVM volume group it would create an lvm snapshot of the lvm volume that is being backed up, and then copy the snapshot, but I don't see any snapshots with lvdisplay while the backup is running. I fear that this means that the backups will be corrupted if anything changes on the VM while the backup is running. Can anyone confirm that? Of course I could work around this by implementing my own backup script, but It would be nice if I could use the included functionality in proxmox.
