Highlights

First general-availability release of the QuantaStor storage plugin for Proxmox VE.

  • VM disks and LXC containers on QuantaStor iSCSI block volumes, from one storage entry.
  • Registers a first-class PVE storage type (quantastor) — no PVE core files are patched.
  • Supported on PVE 9.1.x and 9.2.x.
  • Upgrading from 0.2.x is just dpkg -i — no configuration changes required.

Added since 0.2.1

  • LXC container support (rootdir content type) — block-based container root filesystems, the same model as RBD and LVM-thin.
  • Filesystem-consistent snapshots of running containers via volume_snapshot_needs_fsfreeze.
  • Restart migration for containers between cluster nodes.
  • Extra mount points on QuantaStor storage.
  • pct fstrim discard passthrough.
  • Unprivileged containers.
  • Web UI: the Content selector is now a multi-select offering Disk image and Container, both preselected on the Add dialog.

Fixed since 0.2.1

  • Thin provisioning is now the default. volume_create sends thinProvisioned explicitly — an absent boolean meant thick, so every volume was previously 100% space-reserved. The sparse option in storage.cfg was dead code and is now honored (default on).
  • No more uninstall warning on package upgrade. prerm warns about leftover storage.cfg entries only on actual removal.
  • Snapshot rollback and template conversion no longer fail after a guest stop. Session waits now default to 200s so they outlast QuantaStor's session-manager refresh cycle, which has a hardcoded 180s floor. Shorter waits failed deterministically, and the failed task left a rollback lock that blocked every subsequent start.
  • Clones no longer fail about half the time. activate_volume retries the ACL add through transient 5xx responses: QuantaStor serves a clone as an async ZFS "instant replica" and can return the volume before SCST has created its iSCSI target.
  • More robust volume deletion. free_image falls back to per-snapshot deletion when a cascade delete fails or partially completes, and retries through brief post-teardown busy windows.

Compatibility

  • Declares storage api() = 13. Loads on PVE 9.1.x (exact match) and 9.2.x (with a cosmetic "older storage API" notice). PVE 8.4.0 is not supported (its APIVER is 11).
  • Container templates (vztmpl) are not supported — a block LUN cannot hold template tarballs, the same limitation RBD has. Keep templates on file-based storage such as local.
  • Use a current QuantaStor 7 build. Older 7.0 builds wedge volumes on template conversion and can refuse deletion of a freshly created snapshot for several minutes — see the err=493 section of the README.

Install

dpkg -i pve-storage-quantastor_1.0.0-1_all.deb

PVE services are restarted automatically by postinst, and dpkg triggers re-inject the UI panel and pool-scan endpoint after future pve-manager / pve-storage upgrades. Run it on every node in the cluster.
