Hi, my name is Damir, I use Proxmox for my production server, so far so good, but yesterday I bumped to a HUGE issue. Few days ago the server was shutdown improperly, resulting to a dirty flag (fsck). I ignored it, upgraded the Proxmox installation (was 1.4, upgraded to 1.5). After upgrade, the fsck not clean message keep on coming up. I thought... OK, I'll do a manual fsck... now, the system doesn't boot. I'm quite desperate, I'm looking for ways to rescue my virtual harddisk, but I can't seem to mount the volume, "LVM2_member" kept on coming up (I use "system rescue cd") to boot my server. Can anybody help?

Thank you in advance

Damir.

Ps: I tried the Proxmox installation (but put "debug" at boot prompt), then aborted the installation. I get to the proxmox shell, but after that I don't really know what to do. I mounted the supposed / file system to see there's almost nothing in it except files from /boot...
 
Hmm, finally I can mount the LVM volume, but I still stuck as why does the system stuck in kernel panic...

Damir.
 
Found the problem, /root is empty... How do I "repopulate" /root?

Hi Damir,
/root need imho only on file: .forward (the content is the emailaddress given during the install).

If you boot a rescue-cd (like grml, enable lvm) what is the output of
Code: 
vgdisplay
lvdisplay
To get your clientinfo you should something like
mkdir /pve
mount /dev/pve/root /pve
mount /dev/pve/data /pve/var/lib/vz

Then you should save the content (for kvm-clients) of /pve/etc/qemu-server and /pve/var/lib/vz/images
