Thanks. This seems to have worked. I think I am missing another disk which was named similarily but from local-raid1 which was another set of hard drives. I see is in the path but I don't see the local-raid1 as storage inside GUI. How to add storage? what I marked 1 is I think good but what I...

Thanks, that worked but like pvesm free local-lvm:vm-disk basically TAB it all the way. I did create a new one like this: pvesm alloc local-lvm 20232 vm-20232-disk-1 102400M and I GUI I see 107.37GB. Is that ok for the 100GB disk I have? or must it be exactly 100GB?

So how to remove the existing one? I am failing with pvesm remove 20232 (id of VM) and I tried device name and failed too. I want to remove to recreate with 1024M (100GB)

Are you sure? Because when I tried to dd into that it right away said ran out of space. Also I see pic below size is very little. Documentation said 1024M for 1GB I think

Thanks. I put 100 for size stupidly. How to expand to 100GB or simply rm it and do new one? I tried putting name, id of VM etc but failing to remove. pvesm remove 20232 400 Parameter verification failed. storage: invalid format - storage ID '20232' contains illegal characters pvesm remove...

Thanks. "pvesm alloc local-lvm 100 vm-100-disk-0 100" command must be run in /dev/mapper? It seems I have to do c), d), e) f) from your post. Can you please re-check if all commands are to be run exactly as you said and nothing else needed (except for file name changes)? Also, when I did dd...

Thanks. The old machine is not running anymore. What is the solution now?

I had an old drive failing and removed it from Proxmox 4.4.1. It was the main drive there. I installed new drives and installed Proxmox 8.2.1(latest). On the old drive, I did dd with --sparse for copying a /dev/mapper/vm--disk-1 and now it shows 100GB and I transferred it to the new server...

Clonezilla installs on Proxmox mother one? So it's safe to say that data lost is unrecoverable for good and forget about trying to recover since Proxmox is ultimate source for backing and since it fails there is no other alternative?

I have a failing HDD and a new backup HDD was added but when trying to BACKUP all fails with errors. Some did backup and some didn't. These are LXC Containers. What can I do to save those LXC Containers that do not copy? Thanks, Task viewer: Backup OutputStatus Stop INFO: starting new...

I have a failing HDD that was part of "pve" group and was "thin" provisioned. I have moved some of it's data to another HDD that I installed with a new VG that is named "newdrive" but is not "thin" provisioned. Now, I have a 6TB external USB storage connected to same server. I would like to do...

I have a server with two Intel E5620 CPUs. On the gui in summary it shows CPU(s)8 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz (2 Sockets). When I make containers I am assigning 4 CPUs to each container, and I have about 50 containers. I also have some KVMs, and I assign them 8 CPU cores each. 1-...

alexskysilk - You are right from what I read as well. But LnxBil was giving me a different impression.

Thanks for the input LnxBil. I don't see this feature as ON or OFF in Bios. Can you please let me know where you set this?

Hi LnxBil, how did you change it to run on Turbo mode at all times? I am interested to do the same as this is not overclocking and should be supported. I have DL360p Gen 8.
