fix: correct the misinformation about PVE 9 VM disk monitoring
Previous advice was completely wrong. The facts: - VM.Monitor permission doesn't exist in PVE 9 (was removed) - It was replaced with VM.GuestAgent.Audit - But even with correct permissions, API tokens CANNOT access guest agent data on PVE 9 - This is Proxmox bug #1373 with NO working workaround for API tokens - Users must accept 0% VM disk usage on PVE 9 until Proxmox fixes it upstream Updated all documentation and error messages to reflect this reality instead of giving false hope about non-existent workarounds.

### Why do VMs show 0% disk usage?
|
||||
This is usually one of these issues:
|
||||
|
||||
**Proxmox 9**: API tokens may have issues accessing guest agent data in some configurations. Workarounds:
|
||||
- Ensure your API token has VM.Monitor permission (re-run setup script if needed)
|
||||
- Accept that VM disk will show 0% if permissions aren't sufficient
|
||||
**Proxmox 9**: API tokens cannot access guest agent data due to a Proxmox bug (#1373). Unfortunately there's no workaround:
|
||||
- VM.Monitor permission was removed in PVE 9 (replaced with VM.GuestAgent.Audit)
|
||||
- Even with correct permissions, API tokens are blocked from accessing VM disk info
|
||||
- You'll have to accept that VM disk usage will show 0% until Proxmox fixes this
|
||||
- Note: Container (LXC) disk usage works fine
|
||||
|
||||
**Proxmox 8**: Check that:
