Can not read/access VM Disk after physical server locked up

[Andreas.]

Hey guys


Is it possible to repair or get access to the files from the VM disk


I have proxmox running on my home server and today the server just locked up.


So I powered it off/on and all my VM's came back up except for one.


It was my server holding my data.


It has 2 drive, a 10GB and a 700GB drive. (These are not physical drives)


So when I booted back up the OS and data appears to be gone.


I re-installed OS (ubuntu) and tried to add the 700GB drive back on but it thinks its blank drive.


Is there any way to add/mount this 700GB drive and pull the data from the VM disk?





thank you

Get access to a qcow2 image as follows (example VM 607 disk1 on local storage, mount partition 1 in /mnt/temp):

qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /var/lib/vz/images/607/vm-607-disk-1.qcow2
mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt/temp

For checking repair etc. use

qemu-img

Have a look at man-pages for more information!


Kind regards
