Thanks MAFoElffen. I did get this done this weekend. Set up a ZFS pool on an extra disk & created a separate dataset for each VM so that ZFS snapshotting will be VM specific, vs. all VMs in the...

I am still on 22.04 so i haven’t seen this yet but I understand this is an issue. I also do custom partitions & set up LVM before running the installer. I will also need to follow this more closely...

Lol, yep that's me :)



This I like and hadn't thought to try that on this box. My other tower is running all ZFS and there are VMs on that, with cron doing nightly snapshots and then sends to a...

I am trying to learn about libvirt external snapshotting of VM qcow2 images. I think I prefer this vs internal snapshots where the snapshot lives inside the qcow2 file because the qcow2 file grows...

Giving this a bump, and while you wait, adding some additional reading on the topic of raid types and the objective when using them. Raid can be useful to provide redundancy in case a drive...

What were you changing with Disks and for what reason/goal? Would this be the root LV you changed, what parameter? I've never had to fiddle with my fstab on a perfectly good running root on LVM...

There is Timeshift, a gui tool which uses rsync under the hood. I have never used Timeshift but I have used rsync, but not for backing up system files. TS is advertised for taking snapshots of...

All done. I uninstalled the Nvidia driver and pulled the card & replaced the CPU with the 5700g. Upon startup, I went into the Bios to check everything and I did have to put back my original...

It appears you are creating keys under root itself. Perhaps this can work if you are allowing root login on the server, I don't.

Mine is here: root@b550a-rzn: /home/rsync-bak/.ssh#
I have...

There is also the possibility of running your Windows apps in a Windows virtual machine, or a dual boot system. If Windows games are the main goal you likely will need to be running on your...

My guess is you are trying to use firewall rules to force bridge behavior on a NAT configuration. virb0 is the default interface set up when you first install KVM and Libvirt. The default is NAT. ...

+1 to give any distro a spin with a “Try Ubuntu” usb and see what you think.

I have a Windows 10 bare metal machine that I keep around for when I get the itch to play my older Steam Windows games....

Alrighty, I just ordered a replacement CPU & SAS controller card & cables. I won't need to move my root SSDs (2) or NVMe's (2) which is where all the zfs stuff is.
I'll need to remove the nvidia...

Thanks TheFu ! I think this is what I am going to do for now. I’ll need to get a 5600g or 5700g since those prices have dropped quite a bit, that will free up the primary PCIe x16 slot that I can...

Ahh, good point, I hadn't thought of that !!

yeah, now I have 1 onboard SATA connector left to use. I've only used 3 SATA + the 2 m.2's.
Because I am using that 2nd m.2 port I can only use 4 of the 6 SATA ports.
I'll have to think about...

I should have researched the MB a little closer. Trying to figure out how to get more storage connections.

I have the Asus Rog Strix B550-A Gaming motherboard. The CPU is Ryzen 5600x (no onboard...

Is this a dual boot environment, if so wait for other help. I don’t have any experience with dual boot.

My next thought is whether you have good a backup of your grub configuration to where you...

Hi and welcome to the forum

Since this is happening regardless of your OS, it sounds like possibly a physical hardware/wire problem, or potentially your computer is not receiving an IP, it could...

It sounds like it. I probably don't know enough to carry on further here. I had not experienced these more advanced networking possibilities, so apologies to the OP. And thanks @volkswagner for...

Not sure I agree with this statement. The point of a bridge is to allow VMs to appear as just another host on the network. They can communicate with, and are reachable by other hosts...

Thanks TheFu. This does make sense how you describe it. I see now i need to learn more about the layers & priorities involved in packet handling.



I will listen to these, started the first one...

I have a working remote access vpn set up for accessing a Nextcloud server at home. All hosts running Ubuntu server 22.04. So, I don’t have a question to fix anything but I am looking for a better...

Have you considered hanging a multiport dumb (unmanaged) switch off the port you want to use, you could have your desktop and server on the same subnet that way, if that is what you prefer.

As...
