With version 2.3 some new defaults... The proxmox team, or anybody, can explain the motivations in this new defaults ?


as roadmap 2.3:


  • qcow2 as default storage format, cache=none (previously raw)
  • KVM64 as default CPU type (previously qemu64)
  • e1000 as default NIC (previously rtl8139)

e1000 and kvm64 and overall has provided better comptability and speed especially with kvms. This was partially driven by a number of form posts where use thereof resolved a number of quirkies.
