Title says it.

I was running PMX 6.2.4 just fine, but had a HDD issue on the OS HDD. Replaced with a new one and a fresh install of PMX 6.2.4.

I set all of my data drives back up. They show active, and the proper used/free space info, but zero files show up in the GUI. Files are there and accessible in the cli.



Code:
# pvesm status
Name                   Type     Status           Total            Used       Available        %

Code:
# mount | grep /dev/mapper

Tried so far:
1.) restarting pve-manager
2.) restarting pve-storage
3.) restarting pvedaemon

What else can I try to "refresh" the files in the GUI?
 
I figured it out.

Turns out that specifying the correct directory makes a difference :rolleyes:

I had to change /mnt/storage & /mnt/pvestorage to /mnt/storage/vzdump & /mnt/pvestorage/vzdump, which is where all of my files were actually located.

Dumb mistake, but I'm leaving this thread here for others to reference.
