    logical volume & missing data

    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

    boot letters changed

    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...

    where did this bridge come from

    I setup a vm and then I see a bridge was automatically setup, however it is not using the subnet I am using for the inside network. How can I change it ? I did not see anything in the gui. I am not using a 192.168.122.X subnet anywhere. vm2 -- ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536...
