How can I get my storage data back?

Now you just have to attach them go the guest again or are you missing any other disks/data?
 
Attach the images? Is doing that the same as attaching the drives? And is the container the 'guest'? I don't think I'm missing any other data. Before I mounted the disks with mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/pve/library , would I just need to mount it a different way?

Again, no need to quote each of my messages. Attach as in going to Resources and editing the unused disk to not be unused any more. /mnt/pve/library already exists on the host.

Excellent, I found them, I can now browse the files like before. On the resources tab of the container, I can see 3 unused disks, should I remove those? They are:local-lvm:vm-100-disk-1 with the other 2 being disk 1 and 2 raws of the HDDs I'm mounting. Disk-0 raw is the one I mounted with all the stuff on it. And for the host node to automatically mount the HDD storage, do I just add UUID =xxx.yyy.zzz /mnt/pve/library ext4 defaults 0 0 to the fstab? I checked the old fstab (the one before I reinstalled everything) I saved on USB and it didn't look like the HDDs were mounted automatically with fstab, but I didn't have to manually mount them like I've been doing when I restart the system.
 
As said, /mnt/pve/library is already mounted on the host

Bash: 
sda                   8:0    0   3.6T  0 disk                                 WDC WD4002FFWX-68TZ4N0
└─sda1                8:1    0   3.6T  0 part /mnt/pve/library
 
When I use lsblk, it doesn't show it's mounted, I've been mounting them manually the whole time. When I restart Proxmox, that storage device has a question mark on the icon in the node tree because it doesn't mount automatically, I have to enter the mount command. I'm trying to figure out how to fix that so that it mounts automatically like before.
 
Yeah in that case you want to use the fstab file with a line similar to what you shared above. blkid should show you the UUID. Or add it as column to lsblk.

Hi @Impact, you seem to have a lot of experience with virtualization. I'm currently facing an issue where some data appears to be corrupted or missing. It's not related to Proxmox, though. Would it be okay if I sent you a PM to ask for your advice?
 
I generally only do support in public and dislike PMs. I can either help you in your own thread in the forums here or, if you want to live chat, I'm active in the proxcord discord server.
