That looks like your problem -- question is why?

what does df -h show?

Please restart the cluster service (systemd reset-failed pve-cluster; systemd start pve-cluster) and observe the syslog for errors

I am getting Excess arguments. when I ryn that not sure if I am doing it correctly

Sorry, I meant to write "systemctl" instead of systemd.
systemctl reset-failed pve-cluster systemctl start pve-cluster

Hi thanks, there is not much data that I need on that server I think I will just format that I was just playing arround with virtual machines,

Is there a way to copy those vm disks to an external through cli. otherwise I will just delete that data on there.

 

[Matthias.]

The easiest is probably to use vzdump
