Looking for way to wipe old disk used in previous Proxmox installation.

[Lucktsm]

Hello All,

I have second nvme drive that I can't wipe due to holder error. The machine had two nvme drives in it and had Promox installed, I re-installed proxmox 7.2.7 and can't wipe /dev/nvme1n1. Can anyone please help? There is nothing on that drive I need, I just need it for additional space for vms.

When I try to wipe via the webgui I see: disk/partition '/dev/nvme1n1' has a holder (500)

what is the output of :
lsblk
fdisk -l
lvs
vgs
pvs

Thank you for the quick reply! It has worked. Much appreciated! Now I know how to do this.

Sorry, so there was old data on that disk. To fix it, I dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1000
to the disk, then the gui was able to wipe and re-partition. Now it works

Your nvme disk was presented as /dev/sda? that sounds very strange...
Are you sure you wiped the right disk?
