pct restore : Cannot write: No space left on device

[BernardF]

Hi there,

I'm trying to restore an openvz container from an old proxmox server and I got "No space left on device" . I don't understand why as there is more than 1.7 Tb free in the system.

lsblk

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Try to specify the root file system size, for example to use 500GB:

# pct restore 100 '/mnt/sdb4/vzdump-openvz-100-2021_11_09-09_48_03.tar' --storage local-lvm --rootfs local-lvm:500

Thanks very much. it worked fine but things are going wild :

I know it's an outdated system with and old customized cyrus imap version running. Upgrading is very risky.
Is there anything that can be done to implement this old system on Proxmox 7.X ?
What would you do ?

Best regards,

Bernard

My backups are on a PBS elsewhere. As I see it, there is no regular mounting point on the pve (nano /etc/pve/storage.cfg).
How can I adopt the command for using storage by PBS?

Hi,

you can just specify the volume ID from PBS, e.g. if your PBS has storage ID pbs:

pct restore 1212 pbs:backup/ct/127/2022-07-20T11:44:01Z --storage lvm

Use pvesm list <PBS storage ID> to list your backups.
