Hello,

Every time i reboot proxmox server i have the same problem with my Truenas VM : Middleware Failed to Start.
So i restert Truenas VM many times and somehow it finally starts correctly.

Once i saw there was some messages related to lack of RAM while Truenas services were starting.
Not easy to see because messages fill the screen quickly on boot.
And i allocated 32gb RAM with balooning and minimum of 1gb to Truenas.

To test i descativated balooning, and booom, it starts every time without middleware errors now.

Perhaps, when truenas services start, they check awalable RAM and because with balooning it is allocated dynamicly,
situation could happen there is no ram because not allocated by proxmox yet while starting.

So if you have this kind of problem, just desactivate balooning and try without.

Best regards :)
