    Using dd to clone a Proxmox main/boot disk

    Thanks. This worked. That's a much better set of instructions for using the chroot method than I was able to find elsewhere online.

    Using dd to clone a Proxmox main/boot disk

    All possibilities for 'ls' on all partitions and all partitions plus a slash return "unknown filesystem" Also, the options are actually (not reciting from memory this time) grub rescue> ls (lvm/pve-root) (lvm/pve-swap) (hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) And I did use real disk names when...

    Using dd to clone a Proxmox main/boot disk

    When I try to boot the SSD, the only disk in the system is the SSD. I physically ejected all the other disks cause I didn't want to worry about them when trying to get into early linux boot. e.g. /dev/sda thru /dev/sdk are removed. The HDD is obviously not inserted; the SSD is used in its place...

    Storing backups to a disk in local-lvm

    Here is the information. Looks like there is some information here about another disk in the system (sdb) running CentOS. Due to our lab requirements, that disk isn't available for proxmox at this time. Also, looking at this information leads me to believe I could also just change the size of...

    Storing backups to a disk in local-lvm

    Hello, I would like to backup my VMs onto local-lvm because my local disk is very small compared to the lvm disk (4TB versus 128GB). I know this not immediately possible because lvm is not a file system on its own, so I think I need to create a virtual disk and mount it to the host / dom0. I do...
