Hello,

Following the update of proxmox 5 to 6, the contents of the "local" storage (/var/lib/vz) of one of the servers of the cluster are no longer accessible from the web interface.

No problem to display the assembly summary,
However an error occurs when displaying the content (from any server in the cluster on this specific server local storage):
"Can't call method "mode" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 786. (500)"

I do not see a problem of access rights on the content or on the script.
2 VMs on this server have disks on this storage and I am able to start them without problem.

Do you have any idea of the problem?

The server is up to date:

Could you please post the following?

    }

    # try to cleanup directory to not clutter storage with empty $vmid dirs if
    # all images from a guest got deleted
    my $dir = dirname($path);
    rmdir($dir);

    return undef;
}

sub file_size_info {
    my ($filename, $timeout) = @_;

    my $st = File::stat::stat($filename);

    if (S_ISDIR($st->mode)) {
        return wantarray ? (0, 'subvol', 0, undef, $st->ctime) : 1;
    }

    my $json = '';
    eval {

Can't call method "mode" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/Plugin.pm line 786.
 
Thank you! The first 2 code snippets look exactly the same on my machine, but the API call (pvesh ...) works for me.

Could you, as a first step, try to simply reinstall the relevant package apt update && apt install --reinstall libpve-storage-perl?
 
Thanks for your feedback,
Following reinstallation of the package, the result is not improved on the local storage of the server in question.
The script itself works on all cluster servers, there is no problem to list the content of other local storage on the other cluster servers

Maybe, I can test deleted and recreated local storage

If I try recreate a logical volume in local storage, won't that be a problem? it seems to me that this storage is particular
Code: 
root@proxmox2:~# lvdisplay
...
--- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/pve/root
  LV Name                root
  VG Name                pve
  LV UUID                iOW3CW-mf4r-VFDq-Keuo-x6Ob-23KG-dMNK7l
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Creation host, time proxmox, 2017-03-16 13:47:45 +0100
  LV Status              available
  # open                 1
  LV Size                34.00 GiB
  Current LE             8704
  Segments               1
  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
  - currently set to     256
  Block device           253:1
...
Code: 
lvremove root
lvcreate -L34816 -n root pve
 
no, don't try to change anything about LVM! pve/root is the LV where the whole system is installed!

the problem is the following invalid symlink:

Code: 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 21  2017 vm-104-disk-1.qcow2 -> /media/distant/vm-100-disk-2.qcow2
 
Exactly, removing /var/lib/vz/images/104 solved the problem, you are too good at it, thanks ;-)
