Running Proxmox 7.4 -16 with 3 LXC containers, one used exclusively as a Plex server.

Noticed 100% utilization of SWAP but below 10% utilization of RAM.

Ended up finding instructions for set Swappiness to 0 on ZFS volumes but adding the setting to my Host prevented the VMs from starting.

Is there any way to disable Swappiness on LVM-Thin VMs or am I getting it all wrong?

thx in advance
