I use Proxmox. I have four virtual machines on SATA SSD drives (the machine's motherboard doesn't support RAID). They were running in a ZFS pool. Using a ZFS data recovery program, I recovered the machine file, but without the extension. Is it possible to access the data on a new machine with Proxmox installed, or import the virtual machines somehow?
Proxmox - crash disc
- Thread starter hiper
- Start date
if the original data was a zvol, you can just append .raw to the file. then you can use qemu-img to import the data to your new destination.
Hi, @hiper
Is it a Windows file explorer (or whatever it's called in a particular version) in the screenshot?
So maybe files have extension, but the explorer has the usual setting to hide file extensions?
Every time I set up a new account in M$ Windows I'm still unpleasantly surprised that after all these tens of years (*) morons at Micros..t hasn't yet come up with the idea that file extensions should be shown by default!
If not for users' convenience, at least for security, so that a user can see that this random file is named
document.pdf.exe, not document.pdf and that's better not to double-click it!(*) Yes, AI confirms that "This practice dates back to Windows 95". How stupid.
My machine consists of two SSD drives - one failed, and after restarting, Proxmox won't boot from the other.I used a program that analyzes ZFS and found the images and snapshot. I used the recovery option with the most current snapshot and got this file.Should I give it the RAW extension?Can you tell me the syntax for importing such a RAW file?
the syntax is
qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS]
in your case, source would be /path/to/my/recovered.raw
qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS]
in your case, source would be /path/to/my/recovered.raw
