I would split parsing and serialization so that we can apply the change to parse_size for PVE 8 also, making the transition smoother and not requiring any read-write all config steps, which would be a huge PITA for users. _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
