Hello,
Not sure if this is an issue or not (or if it could become one).
In summary I decided to move a simple (no ZFS) proxmox installation to a new SSD, so I made a backup of the VMs, CT and some files in /etc. In short I did a fresh install in the new SSD, moved the backups and restored the VMs and CT. However one of the last steps was to boot in to the BIOS to make sure the boot priority was set right (B560I MSI MB) and to my surprise there were 2 options for the same SSD, I only have 2 SSDs and one of them was clean and not shown in the boot options.
One option is just labed as "proxmox" and the other one has the name of the SDD vendor "Samsung 870 SSd ....".
As part of my research I found this wiki https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Host_Bootloader, so I tried this command "efibootmgr -v" and there are both boot options.....
both files exist... on the same partition
I do not remember that behavior in my previous installation, so not sure if this is normal
Should I be concern?
thanks
