Purpose A retired storage pool left an ordinary directory behind, and a scheduled copy job wrote 1.6 TB into it overnight. The Proxmox root pool reached 96 % with 0 B available, and that one full ...
Purpose This is the checklist I used to update the BIOS on my main Proxmox host from 2.03 to 3.04, and the step I missed the first time. The host is awkward for firmware work: it runs its storage ...
