Hi everyone ! I was trying to install the lastest Proxmox available (as of now, 7.1-2) into this as my future homelab. No problem during the install (xfs) but some serious issues began to pile up after that.
- unable to reboot/shutdown. No matter what I tried, Systemd inits the shutdown then get stuck there. I had to SysRq b to reboot (SysRq o didn't work at all). 100% of the time.
- boot hangs for a good 5min as ifupdown2-pre.service failed (and some associated zfs ones) with network down. But once I login and restart the aforementionned service, everything's fine.

Then I reset everything, and install the latest proxmox I knew to work for me (7.0-2). This time I choose the good old ext4. And ... everything's fine. And fast.

So here's my question please : I would still like to update my proxmox machine once in a while, but now I'm a bit reluctant to do so if this breaks everything so maybe I missed a "known issue" page that could explain what when wrong for me with the latest version ? Or maybe it's not related to this and xfs is likely the culprit ? What do you think please ?

Thank you for your advices !
