but i create only ext4 partition for local2 storage and use on proxmox 3.4 and 4.1 on another bootable flash drives 4gb and 16gb without this problems

problem only on new fresh install over debian 8.2 =)

Your point me in right direction =0

mdadm --stop /dev/md126
mdadm --stop /dev/md127
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda
reboot

and problem gone =)

Thank you!!!
 
Ah, we crossed posts :)

There seems to be some ddf metadata on sda. I don't know yet, if that is the cause of not being able to mount sda1, but if lsblk shows a md126 or md127 attached under your sda1, then it is.

If so, you could try:
Code:
mdadm --stop md127
mdadm --remove md127

And try if you can mount, or md126 if it shows that under sda1 in the output of lsblk.

It may be that the 4.1 Proxmox has some udev rules that recognise these ddf superblocks. If this is so, maybe you can remove the superblock with a mdadm --zero-superblock, but I don't know if that is completely safe, see also http://serverfault.com/questions/535231/mdadm-zero-superblock-on-disks-with-other-partitions-on-them
 
The support for these ddf containers must have been added recently to debian, can be that this superblock has gone unnoticed for a long time :)

That is why people disassembling an array should always zero the superblocks, kind of gives nasty suprises later on, if you don't.
