Hi, tbh. I still don't know at which point I messed up but this is my current situation:
I had a 250GB SATA SSD on which I had several LXC's and VM's. Because I ran out of storage I bought a 1TB M.2 SSD and installed it next to the SATA SSD. My plan was to install Proxmox on the new M.2 and then migrate everything over from the other drive.
Since I had both drives connected during the installation I guess I must have messed something up because now I can boot the new Proxmox installation but I have no idea how to access the data on the old drive. If I disconnect the M.2 and just boot from the SATA it can see the data but then it tells "gave up waiting for root file system device" and shows an initramfs prompt.
I had remote backups of some of my containers and I was able to restore them perfectly fine but I am still missing some lesser used containers and VMs I would still like to recover.
Is there a way how I can either mount my old drive so that I can access the data from within the new installation? Or can I somehow repair the old installation so that I can boot without the M.2, create some additional backups and then go back to the new drive?
PS: As you can see below, during the new installation it renamed my old pve to pve-OLD-D6EE7AA4 but it can still see the drive and its partitions.
PPS: I have tried to mount the drives using kpartx (https://ronamosa.io/docs/engineer/LAB/proxmox-lvm-mount/) but that didn't work either. I ran the command but nothing happened.
