Hi everyone,

I have an HP Elitedesk 800 G6 Mini running Proxmox 8.1. I have two external EXT4 SSD drives attached and assigned to my Ubuntu Server 23.04.3 VM.
When attempting to transfer files between both drives on the VM, the VM will crash. A certain number of files will transfer before it shuts down.
It’s important to note that the VM will not crash when transferring between NTFS drives since the transfer rate is much slower. Also, transfers between drives when attached to the host are flawless.
Does anybody else experience issues with USB bandwidth bottlenecking on VMs?
