The guide here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough links to this page: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Host_Bootloader#sysboot_edit_kernel_cmdline and tells people they need to add this. It does not specify if this goes inside the quotes or not, or if it doesn't matter. Does it even matter? It would be super helpful if the PCI(e) passthrough guide showed the example of these having been added. I'm not sure why it even links to this other page - since this other page isn't very helpful at all.

I already did this and was successful, but I don't remember if it went inside or outside quotes. I'm thinking it shouldn't matter, but I want to be sure.

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" intel_iommu=on iommu=pt

or...

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"

or doesn't matter?

Wanted to make sure of this before we do it, and also point out that it would be helpful to clarify that and simply put the correct syntax in for people so they aren't unsure.
 
Hi,
the kernel command line parameters need to be added inside the quotation marks.
Regarding the examples, please feel free to open a bug report in our bugzilla [0]
