Hi Udo, I think I see wher you're coming from. I successfully converted a qcow file (though, oddly, it failed on another using the same command syntax-I'm putting this down to the convert tool being dodgy, there was also a bug with the -O option I had to workaround). Would it be possible to...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using a EXT3 formatted RAID 10 array in LVM if that answers your question? I have some old VMs that I'd like to move from VMWare Server 2 which are using VMDK file formats and it'd be nice if I didn't have to go through the additional step of converting them...

I've noticed the following in the wiki about creating disks on an LVM: Image format: raw (that is the only option you can choose now) http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model Firstly, why is is only possible to create raw format disks on an LVM? Secondly, is it possible to move a virtual disk...

Ah, I thought I needed that, that must have been where I was going wrong! I removed the LVM from the Proxmox storage, did an lvremove and added it back in again, this time it displays as empty and I can select it under the create VM tab, though it took a minute to show up, thanks for your help :D

I've done some more reading up on LVM, as far as I can tell I've done everything right-any advice to help me get over this last hurdle anyone? I tried starting from scratch by doing a pvremove. pvdisplay, lvdisplay, vgdisplay only showed what was created by Proxmox on the OS drive after...

Can you please be more specific on exactly what I need to do here? Unmounting it is easy enough but what exactly are you referring to when you say I should remove it? Do you mean that I should delete any paritions in the volume? :confused: Or are you referring to removing the volume group? I'm a...

As you can see it's in LVM storage and I added it in the web GUI as LVM (not directory) but for some reason it shows it as being 100% full. Can you please explain what do you mean by 'free PEs inside the volume group.'? I 'm new to LVM and am only really using it because I understand that almost...

Here you go:

I've moved a disk from the default location under /var/lib/vz/images to a new volume with plenty of space: # df <snip> Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VMDATA-VMDATA 479417128 4867312 450196844 2% /mnt I deleted the old disk...

I've found that manually mounting the volume with # mount /dev/VMDATA/VMDATA /mnt/ allows me to work with it but only through the command line. Still don't know what's going on with the partition errors, though.

GT1, udo, I understand that but /dev/sdb was already in a volume group and still is, it also already has a filesystem on it so I don't understand why I can't use it. Will adding an entry in /etc/fstab allow me to be able to use it?

I still don't understand why my RAID 10 array has been rendered unusable after using the default options in the Proxmox installer.

I have a server with a single disk in no RAID config for the OS (sda) where Proxmox installed and a RAID array which was detected as one big disk (sdb) during install. However, now I've installed it the web GUI doesn't give me an option to use sdb for disk storage-even though fdisk shows it...
