Comment on Help Request - Proxmox Partitions/Boot - CloverBootLoader
fuggadihere@lemmy.world 9 months agoI was about to suggest scrapeus’ solution but only try boomg off a single nvme, since the zfs mirror adds another layer of complexity. At least you will be able to rule the zfs mirror root out of the equation.

Prior to doing the Proxmox install, and prior to the PCIe bifurcation, I still was unable to see the drives directly in iDRAC/bios. What I’ve read online is Dell does this for “reasons” and they happen to sell an add-on card to let you directly access NVMe from PCIe.
While I’m not ruling out the ZFS mirror issue, I don’t think it’s the cause of my problem considering both Clover and the Proxmox install debug can see the drives/partitions. I just don’t understand partition/device/boot structures and processes enough to make sense of what I’m seeing in the blkid/preboot results.
Trying to find information about it online just gets me bad guides about making partitions. The Linux docs for blkid and fdisk also don’t seem to have the explanation of the results, just the arguments for the commands.
