I am running the following Proxmox version:
pve-manager/5.1-46/ae8241d4 (running kernel: 4.13.16-1-pve)
I have created VMs from the following Debian iso, stored in the following location:
/var/lib/vz/template/debian-8.7.1-amd64-DVD-1.iso
After creating the VMs, configuring them, maintaining them (including upgrading them from Debian 8 to Debian 9), and running them for months, I tried removing the .iso listed above to free up space. I figured the initial install image was no longer needed. The VMs continued running, but the first time I tried to reboot them, they would not come up until I put the .iso back in place.
Why must I leave the Debian installation .iso in place after fully installing Debian on a VM?
