Ocfs2 users - Jul 2026 - [External] : Async IO with newest Linux Kernel.

Hi there

I always need to change Async IO in the Proxmox VMs to threads or
native, in order to boot the VMs when using OCFS2 with iSCSI/FC
storages.
Otherwise, the vm did not boot at all.
This happens with kernel 6.8, 6.12 and 6.14.
Now, with Proxmox VE 9, which has kernel 7 but default, I noticed that
is no longer required to change Async IO in order to VM boot properly.

Something has changed in the recent kernels regarding ocfs2 and Async IO?

Thanks a lot

Best Regards
