    Recommendations for Proxmox local Filesystems (2 standalone nodes maybe moving to cluster later)?

    Hi All, Proxmox seems to offer a multitude of options for filesystems on the local disk(s).

My dream setup would be...

    Networking Options

    Hello, I've seen this being asked, but I'm unclear on the actual answer. I want to know how Proxmox separates it's networks, if it does.

    [SOLVED] "Pull the plug" HA without downtime?

    I was wondering... The HA feature in proxmox ensures that a VM (or LXC) will start on another node in case a node goes down, but the machine will shutdown and will have to reboot on the next node. Would there be any way to ensure that the machine will instantly appear on the other node once its...
