Proxmox 6.04. with 2 VM, one is fine, second is giving error running I/O error

I am not really interested in getting the drive back functional, need just access to few files .... then I can format it all no problem

Alternatively, you could also try to add an external HDD to your NUC, configure that as a storage and move the VMs disk there as a workaround.

Ok, will try this, thanks. Not sure how to "move" the VM disk to the new disk ...

Once you have a new storage configured and the content field set to hold VM images you can do it by selecting the disk and then click the Move Disk button.

Ok, now I inserted the external SSD thorugh the USB port. I booted with a Debian live image, did sudo fdisk -l and it was there as sdb, so and formatted it with fdisk into EXT3 (it was NTFS Windows).

When I do ADD HARD DISK it does not show up in the list of available Hard Disk ... (it appears only local-lvm and secondo)....?

See picture (please note I have to detach faulty SSD because otherwise does come the RUNNING (I/O error)

I still do not get how to "connect" phisical drives to whatever they called logical drives ...

And how to have the list of the phisical drives ...

ANyway after I mount the external disk (hope I did it right), then I go to Datacenter, then go to storage, then click ADD, click LVM .. there should see the new USB HArd Disk? Its not, actually I see no phisical drive there ... not clear to me

Ok I went forward a bit but not totally.

I mount the USB drive to /disk0
via GUI I do new Storage Datacenter->Storage->Add->Directory and put /disk0
the I go my VM, hardware, add hard disk
when I put the choice of my saved Disk, I get 14Gb available out of 28GB .. WTF, the drive is 119Gb

what am I doing wrong

 

[klagio]

tried nevertheless to mirror the drive but it gives error, I guess because of drive size .. but why?

To attach the unused disk double click it, define the missing settings and click ok. It will be configured to be used by the VM.

To move the disk to the new storage select the disk and then click the "Move Disk" button at the top.
