Hello all!
I have recently built a new server to move away from old hardware and ESXI 7.0 to Proxmox 8.3.1 and since my new motherboard only allows 4 SATA slots I went ahead and purchased an LSI SAS controller and hooked up some disks to it, I wanted to pass 2 of those disks to a Windows 11 VM and I had a struggle with it until I realized you need to pass the drives as VIRTIO instead of SCSI since they are going through a RAID card. All of this did kind of worked until things started crashing on the VM level then creeped into the host producing errors like
and none of them helped, the only solution was to remove the LSI card completely and use the sata ports directly and remove all the other disks... Now my question is: Is passing through disks on LSI to a VM supported in Proxmox or not? I feel like I'm kind of over estimating what Proxmox can support and what it cannot support.
Here is the pve version and all the Jazz:

systemd timeout and kvm: Desc next is 2 (which I have to say are extremely bad error messages and do not help at all) which renders the entire hypervisor as unusable, I followed some of the forum posts here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/what-is-kvm-desc-next-is-3-indicative-of.128739/ and here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/r...i-reset-to-device-system-unresponsive.139160/and none of them helped, the only solution was to remove the LSI card completely and use the sata ports directly and remove all the other disks...
