Help opening the .raw file

[diegonsf]

Hello friends, I have a problem with my proxmox, when doing an update I had a power outage, at that moment when starting the system one of the vms stopped starting, doing disk analysis, I'm using linux ubuntu, I have 16 tb of file in a .raw file, would anyone have a solution on how I can open it so I can back up the files? Could someone give me a light?

hey diego, this is possibly not the best forum for that question, seems unrelated to proxmox backup server.
However, I did not try this, but i think one pretty easy way to reach the files is to import the disk to an existing VM. Then you can do whatever you want with that disk. the qm importdisk will add the disk to the storage you specify, as an "unused disk" by copying the data. You can then do whatever you want with that disk within the existing vm.

qm importdisk <existing vmid> <your path to raw file> <name-of-storage-to-put-the-unused-disk> --format raw

example:
qm importdisk 316 /mnt/pve/smith/images/555/vm-555-disk-0.raw backups --format raw

Hello Friend.
