Hi,

Ok so basically I have this problem with the same workaround working: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/upgrade-to-pve6-dev-pve-data-device-start-timed-out.57320/
Thing is I'm not sure what the permanent fix is from the whole post, and in my context... This is a home lab and I'd like to solve this before the upgrade at work! :)

Here some output that should help:

* '/etc/pve/storage.cfg'

So I did a fresh 6.1-3 install but did migrate much of the content of /etc/pve/ from my Proxmox 4.0 install so I suspect this is the cause of my troubles!
How do I solve this for good while keeping my content in /var/lib/vz accessible (a lot of VM disk are there)?

Thanks so much!

Hi,

please update to the current ProxmoxVE version.
PVE 6.0 is not the current one and so not supported.
 
Can you send the logs.

Code:
dmesg
journalctl --boot
