After researching the threads I still cannot find why after a fresh installation of Proxmox 6.0 I get the following error message:

/dev/sdb: open failed: No medium found
/dev/sdc: open failed: No medium found

Hello,

after removing a VM with Nextcloud & remove drive from server, I get same issue.
Is there a solution how to remove that ghost drive? (not just adding to a filter as in other post)

root@pve:/etc# pvs /dev/sdb: open failed: No medium found PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda3 pve lvm2 a-- <111.29 13.87g

Using lsblk - sdb is not shown.

The folder sdb is always generated after restart (even if deleted)

Bash:
root@pve:/dev# ls *sd*
sda  sda1  sda2  sda3  sdb

but fdisk cannot open:

Code:
fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found

and also following does not work:

Code:
root@pve:/dev# vgreduce pve /dev/sdb
  /dev/sdb: open failed: No medium found
  Failed to find device for physical volume "/dev/sdb".

check with the output of `dmesg` what /dev/sdb is supposed to be - that might show us if it's easily possible to get rid of it...
