I installed Proxmox VE 8.1 on my QNAP TS-473A.

These are my installation notes.

ld;dr: it installs fine but the hardware is not at the quality level I expected, machine was put into electronics recycling in late 2024.

I upgraded my existing ProxmoxVE version 7 install to version 8.1.

As expected, this was hassle free.

These are mainly my notes on cleaning out previous CephFS fiddlings.

Since I mostly do LVM and sometimes btrfs, here’s a short braindump of my first ZFS on Linux rodeo.
