If so, does it happens with the upstream kernel? And as I see a report here https://github.com/LinearTapeFileSystem/ltfs/issues/484 this is a proxmox provided kernel. But this does not look that it is specific to Debian kernel, so can you please approach upstream as per: ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl ./drivers/scsi/pm8001/ Jack Wang <jinpu.w...@cloud.ionos.com> (supporter:PMC SIERRA PM8001 DRIVER) "James E.J.
