Hi

I did screw up. I remove my PBS backup disk from the server and from the ZFS disks. I can see the disk on the disks list of the GUI.

If I try to wipe it, it says disk/partition '/dev/sdb' has a holder (500)

I tried to import it through the command line using zpool import -a -f -d /dev/sdb. The msg is no pool available to import.

What can I do to solve it ? All my backups are on this disk.

Thanks

Hi,
if your backups are on the disk, do not attempt to wipe it! That would destroy all data on the disk.

How exactly did you remove the disk from the server and from ZFS? Can you see the ZFS partitions on the disk? Is the usage ZFS?

Please share the output of
Code:
ls /sys/block/sdb/holders -l
lsblk -o path,parttype,fstype
pveversion -v
