Hi,

I'm moving VM's from vmware (flat) to proxmox on ceph (raw). the most vm's I moved without any problem, except one. I get the following error:

dracut-initqueue[277]: Warning: Could not boot
dracut-initqueue[277]: Warning: /dev/mapper/rhel_web01-root does not exist
dracut-initqueue[277]: Warning: /dev/rhel_web01/root does not exist
dracut-initqueue[277]: Warning: /dev/rhel_web01/swap does not exist

When I check /proc/partitions I only see "sr0"

It looks like all the partitions are gone. when I move the inventory back to vmware, te VM boots perfect en everything is working fine.

Anybody any idea?
 
You can switch the virtual hardware through, maybe here is the problem. Virtio, SCSI...

When you migrate linux and you have some really bad problem that can't be fixed fast, then you can copy the whole machine with rsync. We've done this way often and without problems. Here a short description:

Target: Add a new VM in Proxmox with all features you need, bigger or smaller... then boot with an linuxlivedisk, format it and mount it. LVM, Partitions, what you like.
Source: Boot with a linuxlivedisk and mount your partitions. Copy with rsync on the target. For example:
Code: 
rsync --partial -aqe  ssh /mnt/yourpartition/* targethostname:/mnt/yourpartition/.
After that, write grub at the target, reboot, and ready.
