    Storage 'Buffer' does not exist

    Still don't know what the 'Buffer' error means and why the CT would not be removed with the referenced commands, however removing the /etc/pve/lxc conf file in CLI did the trick at destroying the container from GUI. cd /etc/pve/lxc ls rm <lxcid>.conf Hope this helps someone else.

    Snapshot won't delete

    What does qm listsnapshot <VM number> report for that VM? You said it's displayed in the web GUI, is it also listed in the CLI?

    Snapshot won't delete

    I ran into similar problem and discovered I was using the wrong name for snapshot. Try the following: lvs (list snapshots on VG designated as snap_*) qm listsnapshot <VM number> (will list the snapshot name after -> designation) qm delsnapshot <VM number> <snapshot name> The snapshot name...

    VM io-error, local-lvm out of memory

    @CAppa2 I feel your pain. Proxmox evidently doesn't have a safe guard to prevent LVM-thin volume from exceeding storage capacity and once this occurs, VM's are rendered inoperable with I/O errors. From experience, I would definitely NOT try lvresize command. In my case, doing so resulted in...

    Removing Snapshots CLI

    Removing Snapshots CLI

    For anyone who urgently needs space and can sacrifice a VM in order to free LVM-thin space and thus regain functionality, you can use the following command to permanently remove a sacrificial VM: lvs remove <vm name> lvs will show LV data with <100% and should function once more. *Do NOT try...

    Removing Snapshots CLI

    Proxmox stopped working secondary to LVM full storage. LVS command shows data 100% and several files labeled snap_vm... I would like to delete these snapshots so that I can restore functionality for the VM's, which currently will not load secondary to full storage. I attempted: qm...

    Unable to Edit fstab: [ Error reading lock file /etc/.fstab.swp: Not enough data read ]

    @bbgeek17 Thank you for the reply. There is plenty of storage space on all drives, but you bring up a good point... There was an episode previously where syslog file overfilled the boot SSD with errors from an USB device. I deleted the syslog file, removed the device and all was forgotten. I...

    Mounting Data HD without Reformatting

    Thanks for the reply and advice. I have 4 data HDs on the 4-Port SATA controller, not the primary boot drive. I was hoping that passing the controller through to the specific VM (i.e. TrueNAS) would allow access to all HD on that controller. I struggled after several attempts and could not...
