Hi all, I seem to be in a pickle. I lost my proxmox install. No backup, I know. What is backed up was my media though via ZFS.
So I thought just install prox and I am recreate the one container, import the ZFS pool and I am good. In Proxmox I had a ZFS to store my media. One ubuntu container to run samba share of my media on my ZFS pool named tank. However, I have discovered now my mistake when I set up my media storage on ZFS i did it as a directory. So the media on my ZFS, is just stored in the raw file of the containers virtual disk. In my ZFS is this only directory and file /tank/data/images/100/vm-100-disk-0.raw'
I hope I explained myself well enough.
I try to use qm importdisk but I get an error out of space. Yeah, I don't have another 64T to replicate it on.
How can I mount vm-100-disk-0.raw to a container or vm to get access to the files inside again? Or any other way to access the files in the raw?
