Hello!
I have two questions:
I cant get an internal 4TB HDD (guid partition table/ext3) mounted- the first error after the mount is that i ave to specify the filesystem type- so i wrote:
mount /dev/sd1 /DaSi -t ext3
Another error follows:
Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on...
Then i tried dmesg | tail as suggested and the error says
cant find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1


PVE 3.4



The other Question is: how do i backup the proxmox itself?
I only found backup guides for the VM.

Hi,
are you sure, that you created an ext3-filesystem on your partition 1 of the 4TB-HDD?

How look the output of
Code:
parted -l
BTW. I would choose ext4 for an big filesystem.

It says Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Hi,
perhaps forgot to create an filesystem?

What tell file?
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb1 bs=1k count=2 | file -
2+0 Datensätze ein
2+0 Datensätze aus
2048 Bytes (2,0 kB) kopiert, 0,0343255 s, 59,7 kB/s
/dev/stdin: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data, UUID=bbcc93cf-96fe-466f-8e14-1a615ca9c5ea

I formated the drive at an suse computer with partitioneer and used ext 4 this time but no success.
I tried an 500 GB harddrive and this guide, everything seems fine but after a reboot the only thing left now is an blinking _

Hi,
sounds that your harddisk ordering in the bios is not right, so that the server tried to boot from the "new" hdd, which hasn't an boot-loader?!

Try to use the right hdd in the bios as boot-disk.

I have same issue - I have 2 TB drive sitting on a raid 5; i would like to use that partition as storage and shared among other nodes. Please tell me how to do it
 
So today i nearly cried- i manually boot from sda via BIOS and the blinking _ appears.
Then i tried to boot from the sdb which i could swear that i had formated yesterday and... the windows on sdb which should be deleted, started...
I checked the sda in my suse pc and the file system is broken-yeah.
 
Hi,
sounds that you create an new filesystem on sda1 - in this case it's "only" /boot from your pve-system.

So if this is the case, you need to recreate the content of /boot (kernel, initrd, grub) from an new install and you are back in live?!
