    [SOLVED] Can I use an rpi3b as a 'qdevice' on an otherwise all amd64 setup?

    QDevice w/odd # nodes - docs discourage from perfectly safe setup?

    There's a great deal of misleading piece of argument to be found in currently official PVE docs on QDevices [1] and then some conscious effort to take it even further. Under "Supported setups" [1] the following is advised (emphasis mine): It continues to provide an absurd piece of reasoning...

    Why is QDevice setup by PVE backwards?

    The pvecm qdevice setup requires an ssh connection to the QD, which is not there for "casting votes". As QDs are meant to be run externally, why is this not the other (natural) way around, i.e. generating script for one to execute on the QD, possibly provide the feature (as a perk) by calling...
