Filesystem crash on proxmox

I use Proxmox and all my servers are virtual machines… I tought its time to try Nethserver and replace my SME9…

Today I copied my data from the SME9 to the new Installed Nethserver 7.3. I used Windows 7 explorer and made three sessions at the same time, after about 10min the filesystem crashed.

I was not able to shutdown the Nethserver, a reboot did also not work. At the moment I have only screenshots, I will send you the logfile after I can extract it from the vm…

Do you have other VMs on that proxmox? It looks like the VM has big issues with the virtual disk

I’m using too Nethserver as Proxmox VM.

Disk configuration I use is:
Proxmox Side: scsi disk type with no cache
Netherver side: ext4 over lvm

Working flawlessly here

How did you configure the VM?

Yes I do, there are abt. 5 always on and a few test vm’s, I am sorry I can not extract the logfiles, I try to reproduce the error.

I did a recovery, at the moment nethserver is running, the only difference is that I now use another storage on Proxmox.

Is there a guidline howto create a vm under proxmox especially for nethserver ?

@Asrix did a howto

@dnosella

I did a unatended installation, I think nethserver use xfs in that case.

Proxmox

bootdisk: scsi0

Nethserver

Model: QEMU QEMU HARDDISK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 2147GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

2 1075MB 2147GB 2146GB primary lvm

Everything seems ok.
Also dnutan howto seems to be pretty good.
I prefer to use scsi as disk type (linux seems to prefer that kind of configuration), it’s a lot better as compatibility and you lose just a 1-2% performance compared to virtio. But that’s just a matter of taste.

Also I don’t use qcow format, cause I use ZFS as storage subsystem in proxmox.

Never the less, your configuration seems ok.
