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! I'm about to move a lot of VMs off of an old server and on to a band new cluster. Old server has a big lump of local storage and the VMs have mostly qcow2 disks. New cluster has almost no local storage, with LVM on iSCSI being home for disk images. Most VMs I can move easily enough by...

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...
