Unable to negotiate with 1.2.3.4 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

While trying to connect to an older esxi server I got the error message Unable to negotiate with 1.2.3.4 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

I was wondering.

The solution $EDITOR ~/.ssh/config

Proxmox: How to resolve “service start-limit-hit”

The error message on the proxmox gui

()
Job for ceph-mgr@pve-03.service failed.
See "systemctl status ceph-mgr@pve-03.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
TASK ERROR: command '/bin/systemctl start ceph-mgr@pve-03' failed: exit code 1

The error message from systemctl

ceph-mgr@pve-03.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
ceph-mgr@pve-03.service: Failed with result 'start-limit-hit'.

Solve with

systemctl reset-failed ceph-mgr@pve-03
systemctl start ceph-mgr@pve-03

change pve-03 to your node name.

zfs snapshot send resume

zfs send ... |  ssh host2 zfs receive -s otherpool/new-fs

On the receiving side, get the opaque token with the DMU object #, offset stored in it

zfs send ... |  ssh host2 zfs receive -s otherpool/new-fs
zfs get receive_resume_token otherpool/new-fs
# 1-e604ea4bf-e0-789c63a2...

Re-start sending from the DMU object #, offset stored in the token

zfs send -t 1-e604ea4bf-e0-789c63a2... |  ssh host2 zfs receive -s otherpool/new-fs

If you don’t want to resume the send, abort to remove the partial state on the receiving system

zfs receive -A otherpool/new-fs

if you want to get an email after every scrup set the value to 1

save the file and restart zed service

systemctl restart zed.service

failed Import ZFS pools by cache file

A single disk zpool “test” crashed on my server (the disk died). It was just for testing, so nothing dramatic. However, when I rebooted the server I got the error message “failed Import ZFS pools by cache file”.  A zpool destroy -f did not solve the problem. zpool status still showed the “test” pool. The other pool tank was still working.

What did help was

# disable the cache file for the existing pool(s)
zpool set cachefile=none tank
# delete the old pool file
rm -rf /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
# recreate if
touch /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
reboot
# re-enable the cache
zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache tank

Well, the cache file should be automatically updated when your pool configuration is changed, but with the crashed pool it did not.
