[SOLVED] Can’t delete orphaned disk from Ceph

[herzkerl]

Dear community, I can’t remove a disk image from our Ceph storage despite the image not being used by the VM.




And yes, it does say the same in the config file.

scsi0: ceph-nvme:vm-109-disk-0,discard=on,size=50G,ssd=1
scsi1: ceph-ssd-ec:vm-109-disk-0,backup=0,iothread=1,size=5T,ssd=1
scsi2: ceph-hdd-size-2:vm-109-disk-1,backup=0,iothread=1,size=5T

What am I missing?

Select the disk, then click detach and then remove the unused disk.

Sorry, there was a screenshot missing. I was referring to the disk image vm-109-disk-0 which still exists on ceph-hdd-size-2. I’m not sure, but it looks life I moved it to ceph-ssd-ec in the past and forgot to delete it.

Right. Run

qm rescan --vmid 109

, and the disk should be added to the VM as unused disk, then you can remove it.

I tried that, but it didn’t get added to the VM. Anything else I could try?

There is also pvesm free, which will directly remove a volume. Our docs/man pages describe how to use it.
This will completely and irrecoverably destroy all data, so be careful to give it the correct volume.

Thank you, pvesm free ceph-hdd-size-2:vm-109-disk-0 worked
