    I/O errors in LXC containers on ZFS. Backups fail, requiring restore.

    I've been chasing a ghost since upgrading to proxmox 8.3 (correlation is not causation, so I can't point to 8.3 just yet). Random LXC containers start to exhibit i/o errors. This is only "noticed" when a nightly backup runs as it then errors, but fails on those specific LXC's. The storage is...

As you can imagine, when...

Is there a way to optimize that? When you have virtual disk that span more than 100 gigs, it really becomes a...

    Suggestion - Allow organization via folders.

    Hello all. I have an idea and I think it would be a solid use case for those who have a lot of VMs. Instead of having a giant long list of VMs, I think it would be a good idea to be able to create folders on the left where the list of VMs are. It would be easier to group VMs and manage them...
