    Optiming Virtual Disk Volume Block Size (Host) and EXT4 Blocks/Groups (Guest)

    SSD optimization

    Hello, first of all, sorry for my English as it is not my native language. With my Debian installations I add to the /etc/fsatb file the noatime and discard options on the root disk. My question is: Do I have to do the same in a Proxmox installation? Any help is greatly appreciated.
