These are some findings/learning after a full drive migration.

• The NVME on my Proxmox server has been in a bad state for a while now, proxmox has been really tough on it. This is with pve-ha-lrm.service and pve-ha-crm.service disable and set Storage=volatile and ForwardToSyslog=no in /etc/systemd/journald.conf. Any other tips?
• I have a goal to have all my disks/drives encrypted with LUKS, including Fedora Laptop, data SSD and backups HDs. These have been encrypted for a while, only one left was Proxmox main drive.
• Enabled full disk encryption for my Proxmox drive. I had to install debian with full encryption first, then install Proxmox on top of it.
• I was able to restore all my LXCs from backups, including PBS backups running in LXC.
• I was also able to fully test my ansible pull playbook, had to fix/add some stuff, but worked fine.
• After getting everything up and run, started getting Failed to allocate directory watch: Too many open files. Found a solution here. This is interesting because I never saw this before with Proxmox VE instalation, I guess Debian has this set to a lower value by default.
