Hello everyone,
I must preface this by saying I only have basic knowledge on how virtualization tools work, and I'm trying Proxmox for the first time.
After setting up some virtual machines, I now want to create one to perform restore of a my_file.img image file. So, I tried to follow this guide https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-work-with-img.52986/ and successfully managed to do everything, including "add the new unused disk as attached disk" and set the "Boot order", but booting the created VM (207) does nothing, like you can see in this image:
Analyzing the .img file I managed to discover that it's not just a single partition but contains more partitions, thanks to the commands:
where I found:
From that command i've seen also some info about disk created form .img file and attacched to VM 207
Is this the problem? Does anyone have suggestions?
