Disaster recovery

[stsinc]

OK, did not seem to matter most. I left the instruction un-executed and went to the end of it.
When installing proxmox-ve it sauys I have the latest version installed, so nothing is done.

don't just copy&paste, dev path might be different for you

 

[flames]

did you already tried to reinstall grub?

• update-grub
• grub-install /dev/sda (your ssd path here)

 

[stsinc]

yes and it only found MemoryTest in the process

 

[stsinc]

Ok, I am still trying to deal with the mount ... /media/RESCUE/boot line.
I have checked and noticed that the USB where Proxmox is located is mounted on /cdrom
Any idea @flames on how I can mount from that address? I tried mount /cdrom /media/RESCUE/boot and it refused

 

[stsinc]

I was unable to proceed.
I would like to do something else now: recover what is in the datadirectory within the LVM group.
I attach an example of what lvdisplay yields when I apply it to a SSD I have extracted from a Proxmox machine.
I have tried many ways to mount the data partition but was unable to.

Any help much appreciated.

yes, don't just copy&paste the device path. mount ->/dev/sda1 /<- media/RESCUE/boot change that to the actual device path of your ssd with your broken proxmox installation.

run "lsblk" to find out which device path you need (and show me the result too)

mount /dev/sdyX /media/RESCUE/boot <- here you mount the boot partition of your pve ssd into the already mounted filesystem. if you have legacy only, this might be not applicable so just skip this one

and still i would like to see the script, it would help to find out, what exactly happened. send me the script via private message, in case it is a bad script, we don't want to spread it here publicly, since there are people who run scripts without checking them first
