    [REINSTALLED FRESH] I broke my partitions AND grub with sgdisk -e /dev/sda* - any way to fix this?

    Will do. I am pretty upset about this whole ordeal but weirdly not even remotely as much as I thought I would be... Maybe because I know that I can set it all back up and I do not have to recreate all the VMs from scratch because I have the vm disks... Cheers. Andrzej

    No stress... Its not like its a company server. Just a private server. One positive thing - I got the machine replaced. From Dell Optiplex SFF 990 with i7 2600 to Dell Optiplex SFF 7010 with i7 3770. Fresh install. Regards. Andrzej

    [REINSTALLED FRESH] I broke my partitions AND grub with sgdisk -e /dev/sda* - any way to fix this?

    It didn't and if the partition table was not broken then... it probably is now. As soon as I did what I did (wrote a weird looking recovery from testdisk I found this video https://youtu.be/VR5TP9E9wio It probably would help me recover but now my drive looks like this: Yeah I am a freaking...

    BAD IDEA, LVM AND TESTDISK DON'T MIX WELL... Cheers. Andrzej I am reading that a partition table can be recovered with a use of a tool like testdisk. Tried installing it in ubuntu live but I don't see it in the repo. https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Livecd GParted Live is supposed...

    [REINSTALLED FRESH] I broke my partitions AND grub with sgdisk -e /dev/sda* - any way to fix this?

    I wish it was that simple but unfortunately I cannot even chroot into it because of the lvm corruption. Thank you for your suggestion. I hope it becomes part of the solution once I recover the lvm. Hopefully... Anyone has a lvm uncorruptor or a time machine? Kindest regards. Andrzej

    [SOLVED] 31/03/2024 - Proxmox-ve server update = 100% cpu usage, fans going berserk, services keep failing to start. Time change = possible culprit?

    Hi :) The server is oldish, its been running for few years, but this was a very first time it actually utilised 100% of the cpu for any noticeable period of time. I don't like creating e-waste so until it does not die it will do. Now that the whole ordeal is over, the cpu usage is back to...

    Sitrep. Server suddenly decided to howl to a moon in the middle of the night and then just as suddenly stopped on its own. Cat only knows what caused it. Kindest regards. AndrzejL

    [SOLVED] 31/03/2024 - Proxmox-ve server update = 100% cpu usage, fans going berserk, services keep failing to start. Time change = possible culprit?

    Update 01: Question... Could time change cause such behaviour??? I am starting to think this was the culprit... After about hour CPU usage went back to normal. I have rebooted the server. After reboot - situation looks like it resolved itself? Normal CPU usage? Exactly 0 packages have...
