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.

resolve , as meaning /dev/sda1 would be / and /dev/sda5 become the swap partition.

I recently noticed the / partition being labelled /dev/sdb1, and I think I figured it out. for some reason I have an entry in fstab. If I simply remove the line refencing sdb , would that resolve the issue ? cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to...

correct, I hadn't thought it through. backup via the management gui, and then delete the VM's. thanks

I have a few vms I don't think I need, however, I want to have a copy , just in case, so how can I copy vm-124 vm & vm-126 to another attached disk on the pve , before I remove them from gui ? 102 & 175 are being used, thus needed. lvs /dev/sdf: open failed: No medium found /dev/sdg: open...

I have figured it out, from the gui, I go to the listed storage devices, and it showed up in there , and was able to delete it.
