Hi
I replaced my hard drive to a larger one and am trying to restore the backups. I was getting a black screen when trying to reinstall the Proxmox VE iso so I installed over the top of Debian which worked, but now I do not have a separate Local-LVM. I cannot create a Local-LVM because the host partition took up all the space. I've joined a cluster which has replicated my original storage structure.

If I try to restore the VM backup I get an error: failed: no such logical volume pve/data
If I create a Directory and restore to the Directory - the image will not start, even if I point the VM hard disk to the relevant Directory.

Can I recreate a local-lvm on my already partitioned disk?

Thanks!
