    Proxmox Boot Issues on Dell T430 Server

    I purchased two 1TB Crucial MX500 SSDs last night (not NVMe) and put them both into a Vantec M.2 RAID card. The card is *not* configured for RAID. It's just passing both drives through to the server as individual SATA SSDs. While my server was configured to boot via BIOS, I installed Proxmox...

    OVH SYS servers now using UEFI ~ ESP sync?

    Recent OVH SYS servers are now configured to use UEFI, and their Proxmox 5 (ZFS) installer template manages the post-install setup so Proxmox can boot. The EFI system partition doesn't appear to be synced across multiple disks, and it's unclear how this will deal with a kernel update. Asking...
