ok, thank you,, I like that. I haven't yet investigated(worked with) PBS, but I should accelerate that . thank you

greetings, I have to re-install a PVE ( as the boot ssd drives are failing, and the cost of replacing with enterprise grade ssd is prohibitive at the moment. I have a couple of 2 tb enterprise sata drives. I am curious what I can use the excess space for ? I understand it shouldn't be used for...

will try the other solutions, thank you

lsblk -f |grep sde sde ├─sde1 ext4 1.0 585539cf-854b-487d-b9d1-c68d59771fd1 ├─sde2 ext4 1.0...

I have a partition on the pve-host that I am unable to mount, as I get the "bad superblock on /dev/sde4" error. I have tried all the tricks I have, there is about 900MB of data, of which I need. any ideas on how to fix or at least get the data. thank you

thanks, it worthy of further investigation. I will investigate further. I did finally happen to locate a backup of one of the VM's, i was stored offsite and will take some time to download. oh yes, backups are your friend, and I am generally very good about that. thanks for the link

I have a pair of 4 tb drives, and want to partion it into 2 2 tb partitions, for the pve environment. Is that an acceptable solution/use of the drive, as I would like to use 2 tb of the drive just for storage, maybe backups.

It seems some how I have lost a logical volume, well actually the logical volume has a "whack" of missing directories etc. It is the pve-data volumes, it held the 2 vms on the pve. Is there any way of recovering or fixing. Sadly, I am not well versed in lvm2 usage etc. thank you for your time

ah shit, as I thought about it, I humbled myself, it is the xxxword I assigned on installation thanks for replying

As it succinctly states. I have booted up an already configured PVE, and selected the rescue option from the "boot usb", I don't have info on what the default login credentials. as I need to fix the grub loader. thank you

correct, easily fixe, I wonder what I was thinking when I created that mount point. thank you.

I have been seeing this in the logs on the proxmox host ( which I call pve-backup). It is a simple setup with 1 vm, here is the relevant info. first the error message Oct 08 21:18:50 pve-backup pvestatd[1409]: 5:185m5:185munable to activate storage 'data1' - directory is expected to be a mount...

thank you

What would be the reversal of a "qm set ......." of a hard disk ( pci pass through) ?

addendum, yes, that was the issue. problem/query solved. now, trying to figure out how that entry was placed there.
