Proxmox has been running without problem on a pc for a few months without problem. The pc has two nvme drives, one for running Proxmox and VMs, the other for data storage. All of a sudden, Proxmox won't boot. When I hook up a monitor to view the boot screen, everything proceeds normally, then the error message below is flashed briefly, then the screen goes black and unresponsive.
------
It appears that the issue is somehow related to the data storage disk. When I reboot into recovery mode, I check /etc/fstab and see no corresponding problematic mount points
/etc/fstab
Checking #lsblk: I see the problematic nvme disk listed as nvme1n1, with partitions nvme1n1p1 and nvme1n1p9. There are no mount points associated with these partitions.
Checking #blkid: Each of the nvmen1n1 partitions are shown with the LABEL and types assigned from Proxmox. The UUIDs shown here do not match the uuids shown in the boot error message.
-----
I am stumped on what to do here. Any help would be appreciated!!! I have backups for the VMs and the most critical data stored on the problem disk, but I don't have a backup for Proxmox itself (yet)..
