extra disk not showing as unused

[Dale.Sykora]

I have a new proxmox 6.2 cluster and noticed duplicate disks for a virtual machine, but they are not listed as unused. I have recently moved disks to different areas of storage and migrated vm between nodes and changed disk settings. I may have cancelled a disk move and/or migration too. I want to delete the extra disks as they take up space, but want to make sure they aren't needed before doing so. vm config and storage shown below. Is it safe to delete disk 1,2,3?

Hi,

you can run

qm recan --vmid 103

and then you will see the disks as unused.

Thanks Wolfgang! I will try that next time. I ended up moving the used disks from Proxmox GUI to a new storage location. Then I deleted the old disks on old storage that were not listed as unused.

Hi,

you can run

qm recan --vmid 103

and then you will see the disks as unused.

Not to revive an old thread, but the command is missing an "s" it's

qm rescan --vmid <ID>

Cheers,
