Do not have a default value for Target Node on VM migration. It's way too easy to forget to select a node and end up migrating to the wrong host. Maybe I'm just old and forgetful and should pay closer attention, but I will be interested to see if this gets any attention from the community. Side...

Hello, we are using Proxmox with several different hard drives. Proxmox runs locally via ZFS on a storage, there are no problems here either. We have created additional NVMe hard drives as additional storage and are also recognized by Proxmox and are functional. However, there is now a problem...

What’s the expected behavior here? I have a 3-node cluster with dedicated physical corosync network, and a 2nd faster network for storage and networking. The corosync network is configured to failover to the fast network if interrupted. High availability is configured on guests with shared...

If you have a thin provisioned disk (say 128GB), but the actual size of the disk is only 6GB after install, why does proxmox need to physically move 128GB of data when migrating a disk to another network storage location (even though the file is 6GB)? What is the limitation here? It does not...
