Hopefully someone can help out. I have only been into linux a few months and proxmox a few weeks.


I have multiple vms set up on a second drive. (sdb)
If I sent up a windows vm and then remove it. and try to create any new VM I get and error
............
WARNING: dos signature detected on /dev/local-2/vm-101-disk-0 at offset 510. Wipe it? [y/n]: [n]
Aborted wiping of dos.
1 existing signature left on the device.
Failed to wipe signatures on logical volume local-2/vm-101-disk-0.
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 101 - lvcreate 'local-2/vm-101-disk-0' error: Aborting. Failed to wipe start of new LV.
...............
This is the 2nd time I ran into this problem.
They only way I was able to fix it the first time was remove all the vms and remove the volume group and physical group format and start over from scratch.

.....
If i try
wipefs -f /dev/local-2/vm-101-disk-0

I get an error
wipefs: error: /dev/local-2/vm-101-disk-0: probing initialization failed: No such file or directory
......

IDE/SCSI does not effect anything
bumping 101 to 107 or higher does nothing.
I have 2 copies of Ubuntu currently installed on 100 a& 104

This issue should be fixed with libpve-storage-perl >= 7.0.8
Please make sure you have installed the latest available versions!

I hope this helps!
 
I tried
apt update
apt dist-upgrade
pve6to7
pve6to7 --full
I am still at libpve-storage-perl: 7.0-7

I cant find a specific command.


I tooka shot on a manual upgrade

root@pve:~# apt-get upgrade libpve-storage-perl

I have done "apt update" and "full-upgrade" and even did a new reinstall from the latest files. I still have libpve-storage-perl: 7.0-7 I am now on my 8th weeks of trying to set up proxmox for for testing for use at work. I can see paying for help when problems arise. But this seems like basic101 suff that should just work. I should be able to load and unload vm's.

Unfortunately I give up at this point. I dont have time to wait months before I get this working.. I have to try a different rout this is clearly not a stable program to be using for a server..
