/etc/pve/.debug does not survive reboot by design?

[esi_y]

Is this option [1] only active till next reboot? Or till cluster join? I think multiple times I tried setting it to 1, but later the logging is gone.

yes

yes

Thank you. What's the best option to have it always active? pmxcfs -d on init? I basically would like to see pmxcfs logging when a cluster node is starting up after a longer delay - during the startup.

Got it: /lib/systemd/system/pve-cluster.service needs:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/pmxcfs -d

I have to say, this is probably the best debuggable component of the whole PVE, well written!

PS The docs would be a bit better to mention the dotfiles are all ephemeral (I think the .debug is the only one that can take writing into, so a bit special).
