    Proxmox FW shennanigans

    To my shame and dismay I must post to ask for feedback on this. I'm not the greatest documentation reader but I think I covered most if not all of it regarding.

    Proxmox 8.2 broke after upgrade, now proxy error 500

    After a mere pveupdate+pveupgrade the standalone Proxmox VE is now broken (again) Things that broke are : a kernel module .conf file (fix= `rm /etc/modprobe.d/e1000e.conf`) the GPU udev rules suddenly contained GROUP== instead of GROUP= (fix: remove = from ==) not 100% sure but the monitor...

    [SOLVED] a bit lost with ZFS (closed topic)

    Recently added an extra NVME drive to the system, using ZFS. After adding it i'm lost as what is happening. ZFS appears to have 'absorbed' it but i cannot partition it. There appears no way to undo it etc. I've definitely done something wrong but cannot progress, any pointers ?

    Proxmox 6.x consumes more memory than assigned using ZFS

    After being faced a few times with extraordinary memory consumption i took a look at the shell using glances. out of principle i never count on swap space and don't configure it since my use cases don't call for it. While the RAM assigned is correctly estimated proxmox/kvm decided to consume...

    one GPU -> many screens

    Spending time on GPU passthrough and seeing it evolve brought forward a topic of people running VM in passthrough with direct output to the screen attached to the GPU. Obviously, this had me wonder if it would be possible to have this one GPU output to multiple screens directly, this card has 1...
