```root@UniMatrix001:~# cd /dev/pve/
-bash: cd: /dev/pve/: No such file or directory``` Where is it?

There is no /dev/pve/ in a standard Proxmox VE installation . Why do you expect it to exists? Maybe you meant /etc/pve/?

EDIT: Turns out that I was wrong and it actually exists on LVM installations (but not ZFS).

I watch that video to learn how to change VM ID, the instruction show cd /dev/pve/

Most random videos assume some system specifics. In this case it is using an LVM setup and the volume group (or an LVM-pool or ...?) seems to be named "pve" - which is clever as it allows as much confusion as possible.


Disclaimer: just guessing - I am using ZFS exclusively.

Then that video is not for you.

The ZFS-equivalent would be man zfs-rename.

I'm trying to change VM ID number.

Not sure I agree with the word "standard". Initial install on ZFS is optional, & accepting all "standard" options you will end up with a /dev/pve/ dir.
