Hi everybody,
i have a Question and i dont found any Thread or post that helps me with it.

i have a Proxmox Server running on my HP Server with 2 HDDs.
The first one is only for the Proxmox OS and the second one is for my VMs and images.
My HDD with the Proxmox OS is broken and i set up a new Proxmox Server on a new HDD.
The Question is, how can i mount or add the second HDD with all my VMs and Images to the new Proxmox Installation without to use my Backup. Because my VMs are fine on the second HDD.

Every time i try to add the old HDD to the new server, i receive a message that the HDD need to be wiped and i dont know why?
The only Workaround i found was to import the qcow2 files from one Disk to another. But it takes Days to import all VMs.

Perhaps somebody can help me.

Thanks
 
hi,

what is your disk filesystem formatted to? can you post the output of lsblk -f? easiest way is just mounting the disk.
