Hi, just a small sanity check question, I am part way through a bit of an adventure today, upgrading some Proxmox cluster nodes from Proxmox8 to 9
everything went great, except I forgot until too late, this breaking deal detail with Proxmox V9

cgroup V1 Removal > means that the old workaround which was hybrid cgroup mode enabled on Prox.V8 via the kernel boot flag option = systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0

is not a viable workaround any longer
and more to the point, there is no check for this in the pve8to9 script
while I think it was the case possibly such a thing existed on pve7to8 (?)

anyhoo. In case it is correct that this is not present in the v8to9 pre-flight script
it might be a small mercy to the remaining forgetful systemadmins out there
for this funtion to be re-enabled along with all the other lovely pre-flight checks that do work smoothly, and flag happily many things very nicely as 'pay attention to this!'

thank you,
Tim
 
Ah, ha, this is funny. Looking at output from the script, next day/ now that I am reading it and not quite so sleep deprived, it tells me clearly,

"SKIP: NOTE: Expensive checks, like CT cgroupv2 compat, not performed without '--full' parameter"

So, whoops for me, and good news this is in there. Just for fun I will run wiht that parameter now and I am sure it will give me a good poke in the ribs, as might be suitable.

thank you,
Tim
