File Does Not Exist on Start of VM

[skazzaks]

When I try to start a VM with "qm start 103" I get the message: "volume 'Backups:103/vm-103-disk-1.raw' does not exist". When I look in the GUI, however, I see that the volume is actually in the "local:103...." and not in the "Backups:103...", so it looks like the path recently became wrong. Can I change the path back?

Can anyone help me? I am really stuck! I am using 1.9. Thanks.

you can edit the path in your VMID:conf file, via CLI.

see /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf

but what have you done to get into this situation?

Hey Tom,

Thanks Tom. I removed the reference to the Backup and now the server starts up again!

I am concerned about how I got into the situation as well. I can't say I know for sure. Maybe the server went down during a backup or something caused an error - I am not sure.

One thing that looks odd: on the Storage Tab there is a record for "asd" that is of a type "LVM" that is 99.79% full. I don't know if it was always like that or if that is a symptom of the problem. Probably the LVM can just use all the space on it - I am not sure. Could this be related?

Again, thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!
