Below is a practical way to have a Samba (CIFS) share that you already mount via /etc/fstab appear automatically in the side‑pane of your file manager (Pcmanfm, GNOME Files, etc.).
The trick is to tell the GVFS layer that the mount point should be treated like a “bookmark” – this is done with the x-gvfs-show mount option.

1. Edit the fstab entry
Add (or modify) the line for the share so it includes the x-gvfs-show option.
A typical CIFS entry looks like this:

//server.example.com/share   /mnt/samba_share   cifs   credentials=/home/you/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev   0   0
Add the two extra options users (so you can mount/unmount as a normal user) and x-gvfs-show:

Based on the search results, here's a breakdown of zswap vs zram:

Key Differences

Zswap is a compressed cache that works alongside a traditional swap device (on disk/SSD). When RAM fills up, pages are compressed in memory first, and when the compressed pool fills, the least recently used pages are written to disk swap.[1][5]

Zram creates a compressed RAM disk that acts as swap entirely in memory, with no disk swap required by default (though it can be configured with a backing device).[1][5]

Which Should You Use?

Remove Line Breaks with Sed

sed operates on lines, excluding the newline character, so it cannot directly remove newlines within a line using standard commands. The newline is stripped before processing and added back after. To remove or replace newlines, you need special techniques:

• Replace all newlines with spaces:

  sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' file

This reads the entire file into the pattern space and replaces all newlines with spaces.

Step 1. RTFM

Step 2. IRQ Remapping X2APIC

The message "x2apic: IRQ remapping doesn't support X2APIC mode" indicates that the system's IOMMU (Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi) is not properly enabled or configured, which is required for X2APIC mode to function, especially for PCI passthrough.

Xeon 2011 AES Support

x86-64-v2-AES is a QEMU/KVM CPU model that includes the AES-NI (Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions) instruction set, which accelerates encryption and decryption operations.

For Intel Xeon processors supporting the LGA 2011 socket (such as the Xeon E5-2640 v2), the x86-64-v2-AES CPU type is supported only if the CPU supports the required instruction sets.

• LGA 2011 Xeon processors (e.g., Xeon E5-2640 v2) based on the Ivy Bridge-EP or Haswell-EP microarchitectures do support:
  • SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SSSE3, POPCNT
• AES-NI (AES instruction set) – confirmed in the LGA 2011 specifications.

Best Cache Option Proxmox

The best cache option in Proxmox depends on your storage type, performance needs, and data safety requirements.

• For local SSDs or fast storage with a BBU-backed RAID controller: Use cache=writeback for best performance, especially for write-heavy workloads. It offers high IOPS but carries a risk of data loss during power failure. Ensure you have a UPS and proper backup.

• For SANs, NFS, or remote storage (e.g., Synology, Ceph): Use cache=none or cache=writethrough. Most SANs already have internal write-back caching, so enabling writeback at the Proxmox level provides little benefit and may increase risk. cache=none bypasses the host page cache, reducing overhead and improving consistency with remote storage.

• For ZFS storage: cache=none is often recommended, as ZFS already manages its own ARC (cache). Enabling additional caching can cause performance degradation due to double buffering.

Silicon Image SiI 3114 Linux

Silicon Image SiI3114 is a PCI-based Serial ATA (SATA) controller that supports up to four SATA drives and can operate in either non-RAID "SATALink" or RAID-capable "SATARaid" modes, depending on firmware.

Kernel Support

• The SiI3114 is supported in modern Linux kernels via the sata_sil driver (for kernel versions 2.6.19 and later).
• Ensure your kernel has the following configuration enabled:
  • CONFIG_ATA
• CONFIG_SATA_SIL

To use tmux for a persistent Midnight Commander session that survives SSH disconnections:

Starting a persistent session

1. SSH into your server and start tmux:

   ssh your-server
   tmux new -s mc

For a single-drive pool, both ZFS and ext4 are viable options, but they serve different purposes:

ZFS advantages on a single disk:

• Data integrity: Detects corruption through checksumming (though it can't auto-repair without redundancy)[1][8]
• Snapshots and compression: Built-in features that ext4 lacks[1][4]
• Future flexibility: Easy to convert to a mirrored pool later by adding another drive[1]
• Self-healing with copies=2: You can set ZFS to store multiple copies of data on the same disk, enabling some corruption recovery[1]

ext4 advantages:

• Lower overhead: Less resource-intensive (RAM, CPU) than ZFS[3][4]

To find and remove files by extension in a directory and its subdirectories on Linux, you can use the command: find /path/to/dir -name "*.extension" -type f -delete, replacing /path/to/dir with your directory path and *.extension with the specific file extension you want to delete. For example, to remove all .txt files, use find /path/to/dir -name "*.txt" -type f -delete.
