Fixing Issues after upgrading Proxmox 7 to 8

My initial plan was to update all of my Proxmox nodes to the latest version by the end of this year. While most updates proceeded smoothly, I encountered two errors on one particular node. Given that updating servers is a critical operation, especially when they are only remotely accessible via the network, I decided to

Disk failure and suprises

Once in a while – and especially if you have a System with an uptime > 300d – HW tends to fail. Good thing, if you have a Cluster, where you can do the maintance on one Node, while the import stuff is still running on the other ones. Also good to always have a

Install CoreOS on Proxmox

Some words before we start… Hello Blog, it’s been a while. I still have to deliver the last part of the Munin Plugin Development Series (Part 1, 2, 3).

VirtualBox VMs auf Dual-Boot Systemen (FAT32 & 2GB Split Images)

Die Nutzung von Dual-Boot Systemen (Linux/Windows oder Mac-OS/Windows) bietet sich manchmal an, um vielleicht neben der gängigen Arbeit auch noch mal ein Spiel zocken zu können. Oder es ist einfach notwendig, eine VM auf einem mobilen Datenträge für die Nutzung auf unterschiedlichen Betriebssystemen zu verwenden. Das einzige Dateisystem, welches auf allen aktuellen OS-Version ohne die

VirtualBox error: fixing VDI already registered

Oftmals ist es zweckmäßig, eine Art Template-Image für eine virtuelle Maschine (VM) zu erstellen, mit welchem man eine saubere Basis erhält, auf der man Software installieren kann, speziell für die einzelne VM. Das Problem ist, dass VirtualBox in jedes VDI (virtual disk image) eine eindeutige ID schreibt, welche es verhindert, dass eine identische Copy eines
