After upgrading from PVE 3.2 to 3,3, my KVM guests ceased to boot.
Tried a few suggestions fond on a few related threads, but none really worked for me.

The task error message reads as follows:
Code:

Hi, detect-zeroes is a new option added recently in proxmox, but it should works with qcow2.

what is your qemu version ?

#pveversion -v ?
