Hi Proxmox experts.

Proxmox - V7.0-11

I re-build the proxmox server. Ran it for 24 hours for a week, without any problems. Shut it down.
Just boot up the server. All VMs are gray out. When I try to start a VM. I get the following error " no efidisk configured! Using temporary efivars disk."

All my VMs are read only?

Look like the disk where VMs are stored have become read only.



OK ntfs-3g mount the NTFS read only :(

Any ideas?



The solution:- sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdxX, I'll add it tot he boot script :)


THanks in advance

Same happened to me for no obvious reason, existing VM on a system that was shutdown for a month.

Suddenly this warning is logged, in my case though the VM still started, but before it didnt use to generate the warning.

Also all my mounts are rw.

Found this informative post.

I dont have an efi disk configured for the VM, but I also know I didnt used to see these warnings, I honestly cannot remember if I previously configured an EFI disk. :)

But seems its not too important, I will add a EFI disk later to silence the warnings.
