We'll most likely not notice when it exits.) in my Samba server on both of my PVE nodes. Is this something I should be worried about, and is this a bug? None of my other hosts (Ubuntu, Arch, Raspbian) have this issue. The service starts up properly though, and shares are still accessible. 2018-12-07 22:47:40 --> tryte (~tryte@gateway/tor-sasl/tryte) has joined ##proxmox 2018-12-07 22:50:27 Condor I mean, I'll probably notice when the service goes down and the PVE shares aren't really *that* important so it wouldn't be much of a problem when the Samba services go down, but if systemd can't notice that the process exited, I think it wouldn't be able to restart it on its own either, would it? 2018-12-07 22:51:45 zapotah running samba on the pve host is not exactly supported 2018-12-07 22:52:25 <-- tryte (~tryte@gateway/tor-sasl/tryte) has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) 2018-12-07 22:52:27 zapotah you can obviously use smb shares but i wouldnt be stupid enough to run a fileserver on a virtualization host 2018-12-07 22:52:47 Condor I've read something about that yeah. I'm not using them for file servers, I'm using a dedicated container for that. 2018-12-07 22:53:00 Condor Nonetheless, this issue seems to be one that's isolated to Proxmox. 2018-12-07 22:53:09 zapotah good luck with it :3 2018-12-07 22:53:21 Condor Seriously? 2018-12-07 22:54:52 zapotah for my part anywaty 2018-12-07 22:54:55 zapotah anyway* 2018-12-07 22:55:19 Condor Well, I hope that the (other) maintainers are a bit *more 2018-12-07 22:55:25 zapotah im not a maintainer :3 2018-12-07 22:55:27 Condor Well, I hope that the (other) maintainers are a bit *more* serious about this. 2018-12-07 22:55:32 Condor Fortunately. 2018-12-07 22:55:52 zapotah if i was, i wouldnt really bother with something that doesnt exactly have anything to do with pve 2018-12-07 22:56:28 zapotah your issue somehow has something to do with systemd anyway or with how smbd forks 2018-12-07 22:56:49 zapotah id look into what that pid actually is 2018-12-07 22:57:11 Condor Well this pretty much does. It's an issue that's recently occurred in Proxmox and doesn't seem to be present anywhere else. 2018-12-07 22:57:22 zapotah its not an issue with any pve component 2018-12-07 22:57:30 zapotah its an issue with a third party component 2018-12-07 22:58:06 zapotah wether it is due to systemd shipped with pve or not 2018-12-07 22:58:09 Condor Sure it's probably something in Samba or systemd, but that doesn't explain that the only systems that have this issue are Proxmox hosts. 2018-12-07 22:58:30 zapotah Condor: still not relevant and im finding it hard to see why you dont understand that 2018-12-07 22:58:45 Condor Because it's only present on Proxmox hosts! 2018-12-07 22:58:54 zapotah ._. 2018-12-07 22:59:26 zapotah ill split this into small words 2018-12-07 22:59:29 zapotah third. 2018-12-07 22:59:31 zapotah party. 2018-12-07 22:59:35 Condor How is systemd or Samba responsible when Arch, Ubuntu, Raspbian, all of them run that stack too, yet they don't have that issue? 2018-12-07 22:59:47 zapotah because pve is responsible for pve 2018-12-07 22:59:55 zapotah its not a general purpose distro 2018-12-07 23:00:19 Condor And how would I explain *that* to upstream devs? When it clearly isn't an upstream issue when other downstream implementations don't have it? 2018-12-07 23:00:39 zapotah its a virtualization platform _highly_ _specialized_ for its purpose 2018-12-07 23:00:48 zapotah you dont run fileservers on it 2018-12-07 23:00:49 zapotah period 2018-12-07 23:01:04 zapotah if you do, youre literally on your own for figuring out the issue 2018-12-07 23:01:23 Condor I know that. Does highly specialized mean that somehow one can't do their own system administration anymore outside of the fancy PVE web UI, and suddenly bugs aren't bugs anymore? 2018-12-07 23:01:46 Condor And again, I'm not using those Samba servers as file servers. 2018-12-07 23:01:51 zapotah pve is not a general purpose distro 2018-12-07 23:01:54 zapotah get that through your skull 2018-12-07 23:02:17 zapotah if youve an issue with a pve component, then its an issue 2018-12-07 23:02:20 Condor Neither is Raspbian, it's something specialized towards the Raspberry Pi. Does that mean that oh dear I can't run Samba on it? 2018-12-07 23:02:30 Condor Sorry, I'm done here. 2018-12-07 23:02:32 zapotah raspbian is a general purpose distro meant to run on arm 2018-12-07 23:03:16 zapotah it is very much different 2018-12-07 23:03:46 Condor With that logic, Proxmox is a general purpose distro meant to run on virtualization servers. 2018-12-07 23:04:11 <-- gb00s (~gb00s@static.80.103.251.148.clients.your-server.de) has quit (Remote host closed the connection) 2018-12-07 23:04:21 zapotah it s a virtualization platform meant to run on x86-64 arch computers 2018-12-07 23:04:40 zapotah i have absolutely no idea how you could ever derive that conclusion of yours 2018-12-07 23:04:43 Condor In ohter words, virtualization servers. 2018-12-07 23:04:49 zapotah wat 2018-12-07 23:05:09 zapotah jesus. you are thick arent you 2018-12-07 23:05:13 zapotah good luck 2018-12-07 23:05:46 Condor I've yet to hear of any common virtualization servers that run on other architectures. But sure I'm thick. Thanks for the good luck wishes, again, I'm done here. 2018-12-07 23:05:57 --> tryte (~tryte@gateway/tor-sasl/tryte) has joined ##proxmox 2018-12-07 23:09:40 --> ioscanner (~ioscanner@99.109.28.50) has joined ##proxmox 2018-12-07 23:11:04 ioscanner Anyone play familar with moving from Hyper v to Proxmox? I can do export-vm and get the main system up. But it seems it has a E: drive that is not being exported. 2018-12-07 23:11:37 zapotah ioscanner: convert the vhdx image manually? 2018-12-07 23:11:44 ioscanner In the VM is show it as a virtual disk. In Hyper v I only see one disk in the Virtual disks directory. 2018-12-07 23:12:31 ioscanner I have no probem importing it using the qeum import. Then fixing the MBR. 2018-12-07 23:12:49 ioscanner The main disk c: comes up with no issues. 2018-12-07 23:12:59 ioscanner But I don't see the e: disk 2018-12-07 23:13:28 zapotah is it an actual second virtual disk or a partition? 2018-12-07 23:14:01 <-- MACscr (~MACscr@c-98-215-100-46.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has quit (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com) 2018-12-07 23:15:05 xedniv Condor, running samba in the "baremetal" side of proxmox is asking for trouble. 2018-12-07 23:15:48 xedniv it's dumb, not necessarily meaning someone doing it is also dumb, but it increases the odds. no need for antagonizing zapotah despite his sometimes polarizing style.. 2018-12-07 23:16:54 Condor Fair enough, I'm a dumb sysadmin and an idiot that's asking for trouble by running a service on his PVE hosts. Does that make a bug any less of a bug? 2018-12-07 23:17:01 xedniv run a container or proper guest for whatever you think you are doing. if you need to share files use nfs/iscsi. 2018-12-07 23:17:20 Condor I am already running a container for my file server... 2018-12-07 23:17:58 xedniv so what magic are you doing with "samba" that needs to run in the hypervisor host? 2018-12-07 23:19:14 Condor Just seeing how much storage is still available from a Windows machine. Nothing too important and hence why I wouldn't particularly care if the process ends without systemd noticing. But nonetheless, it's an issue in PVE that I figured should be mentioned. 2018-12-07 23:19:45 zapotah why not use a proper monitoring system for monitoring storage usage? 2018-12-07 23:19:54 Condor Any suggestions? 2018-12-07 23:20:06 zapotah ie. librenms 2018-12-07 23:20:17 <-- AMDler (~AMDLer@p5DED5504.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has quit (Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…) 2018-12-07 23:20:35 xedniv lol, it's not an issue in pve. but you are welcome to prove it by filing a proper bug report, another in the samba bugzilla, with enough debugging information attached to both so people can actually 'help' you. my question was also more rhetorical than anything: there is no single good reason for you to run samba in the host env 2018-12-07 23:21:07 xedniv if you need samba for any purpose, run it in a guest or container based on whatever image works for you best. 2018-12-07 23:21:10 Condor *facepalm* 2018-12-07 23:21:24 Condor zapotah: thanks, I'll take a closer look at librenms 2018-12-07 23:21:50 zapotah because setting up snmpd in the host is perfectly doable and even kinda supported 2018-12-07 23:21:54 xedniv facepalming is what anyone reading this will do once they get to the "this dude wants to run samba in the host environment instead of a guest" part 2018-12-07 23:22:00 xedniv zapotah, yeah 2018-12-07 23:22:10 xedniv properly secured snmp... 2018-12-07 23:22:19 xedniv and preferably with apparmor enforcing it 2018-12-07 23:22:27 zapotah and you can get more data than just the storage usage from it 2018-12-07 23:22:34 <-- Condor (~freenode@nixmagic.com) has left ##proxmox ("Ciao!")
