    logical volume & missing data

    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

    proxmox install& best practice

    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.

    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

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

    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...
