I added an NFS mount in the storage.cfg on proxmox7.4. This shared storage is now available to all hosts, as I wanted too. I can then bind mount it to the containers as I wished. After a while, that this NFS is already in use, I updated the options of the NFS in the storage.cfg, namely the...

Hey all, I repurposed one of my windows machines into a proxmox box, but it never recognized the 512GB NVMe drive. And it doesn't seem to even be aware of the fact that the NVMe drive exists. lspci and lsblk return no mentions of any NVMe slot/drive, but the UEFI can see the NVMe, and I can even...
