Hi alll,
I moved my USB drive, and the cable came part-way out. Result was that my backups went onto local as well as usb-drive. By that I mean, PVE managed to map both labels to the same place. local is 100GB, so it ran out of space, and I did not notice for 3 weeks. No biggie - I have not needed the backups.
I have now sorted the problem and proxmox is working properly again. but local is 86GB and yet appears to be empty.
local is of type disk, and is 100GB total size, with 86.6GB used.
Found the Data-center/Storage/local/edit function and was able to add all types of storage but it still shows nothing.
I had a look in /etc/pve/storage.cfg and that pointed me to /var/lib/vz, but that only contains a few directories and log files (<1MB in total).
So what is taking up 86GB and how can I get the storage space back? Preferably without destroying the whole setup![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
