[SOLVED] How i can remove directory-entry from gui?

[fireon]

Hello all,

i've tested something with an HDD. I've created in the GUI an EXT4 disk and added this automatically to the storage's. So i would delete it. But there is no button for removing directories. On CMD i also nothing found about. Only the file "/etc/pve/.rrd" there is this entry, but this file is not variable.

Screenshot attached.

Thanks

This is a manual system administration task (console).

 

[fireon]

I didn't understand. I searched for:

grep -R -i /mnt/pve/testdir /etc/
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mnt-pve-testdir.mount:Where=/mnt/pve/testdir
/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-testdir.mount:Where=/mnt/pve/testdir

Also in the pve-doc's.
I disabled the service and unount the target:

systemctl disable mnt-pve-testdir.mount
umount /mnt/pve/testdir

I also unpluged the hdd from the server but nothing, the entry didn't go away.

Thanks

Maybe it is still mounted? Check /proc/mounts

No, not mounted.

A reboot of the machine didn't help. Disk was was removed.

Just verified the code, but what you describe is not really possible - at least I can't see how that happens. Maybe it is a browser problem? Already tried to clear the browser cache, or used another browser?

Hi Dietmar,

What should i say... it's there. Removed the firefoxconfig, and tested with fresh chromium. Same problem. Proxmox will mount the disk. But the disk was removed. No enry in the file "/etc/pve/.rrd".

Nothing:

grep -R -i /mnt/pve/testdir /etc/
grep: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/snmpd.service: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
grep: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/pve-manager.service: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-testdir.mount:Where=/mnt/pve/testdir
grep: /etc/ssl/certs/startcom-ca2.pem: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
grep: /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

I have the same problem, I have removed the drive, and the mount point, pvesm remove <directory>, vgchange -a n <directory>, vgremove <directory>, rebooted the server, still shows up under directories in the web gui

Thanks a lot for the information, so i'am not alone with

did you delete the systemd mount unit file?
/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-testdir.mount

 

[fireon]

did you delete the systemd mount unit file?
/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-testdir.mount

Thanks a lot, this is the trick. After deleted the file and reload systemd the entry was gone. So maybe something is missing in that process?

 

[Gizmo_RA2]

did you delete the systemd mount unit file?
/etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-testdir.mount

Confirmed, that solved it, thank you so much didn't even have to reload anything

 

[davidinterian]

i follow your post

first:

systemctl disable mnt-pve-testdir.mount
umount /mnt/pve/testdir

Then

nano /proc/mounts

Exit with Control X

Then

rm /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-testdir.mount

finally,

reboot

Thank You all!

You must also remove the "dir: testdir" section from /etc/pve/storage.cfg

nano /etc/pve/storage.cfg

I can replicate this bug with 6.1 - I removed the directory from the GUI but I still had to manually unmount it, disable it, and rm the mount point.

 

[hivebof832]

same here,also.it's definitely a bug to inspect @proxmox Staff

 

[exitcomestothis]

This same bug happened to me as well. Removing the mount file under systemd did the trick.

 

[turin231]

Have the same bug. Also followed the same to remove directories.

Btw if you do not want to reboot to reuse the disk after you removed the directory (the disk still seen as used for partitions) you can remove the partitions using fdisk.

Yep same bug as well. This post fixed issue.
