Hello,
I want to recover the files in a vm I had on another disk.
I already got the old local-lvm running, but I couldn't seem to get the data.
It was an archlinux installation, using luks and lvm.

What I got so far:

Code:
root@pve:~# kpartx -a /dev/mapper/pve--OLD--1ED18B1F-vm--102--disk--0

root@pve:~# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/pve--OLD--1ED18B1F-vm--102--disk--0p2 luksold
Enter passphrase for /dev/mapper/pve--OLD--1ED18B1F-vm--102--disk--0p2: 
device-mapper: reload ioctl on luksold (253:21) failed: Invalid argument
root@pve:~# dmesg | tail

[  892.175004] device-mapper: table: 253:21: crypt: unknown target type
[  892.175050] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

It seems that dm-crypt is not loaded. But I cannot modprobe it:
Code:
root@pve:~# modprobe dm-crypt
modprobe: FATAL: Module dm-crypt not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.124-1-pve

What can I do to recover my data?
 
the module should be available in /lib/modules/... can you post pveversion -v?
 
I did

Code:
root@pve:~# ls -las /lib/modules

yeah, you removed your currently booted kernel so it's not possible to load any further modules since the module files don't exist anymore.. either reinstall it or reboot into the new kernel..
 
Whoops, how the heck did that happen?

Anyway, I rebooted the machine. Nothing really changed. I note that there is a kernel in

Code:

I also did a reinstall via

apt-get install --reinstall pve-kernel-5.11.22-1.pve

what does modinfo dm_crypt say?
 
does ls -lh /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/md/dm-crypt.ko work?
 
I guess I made the problem worse by trying to reinstall the kernel...

Code:
root@pve:/boot/grub# uname -a
Linux pve 5.4.124-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.4.124-1 (Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:47:09 +0200) x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@pve:/boot/grub# ls -las /boot/vm*
14192 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14529568 Jul  2 16:22 /boot/vmlinuz-5.11.22-1-pve

root@pve:/boot/grub# modprobe dm-crypt
modprobe: FATAL: Module dm-crypt not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.124-1-pve

So how can i uninstall 5.4.124 and use 5.11.22 ?

Now, I'm really off. I just don't get it. How can this be?

Code:
apt-get remove apt-get remove pve-kernel-5.4.124-1.pve

None.

So the kernel is not installed, not in the bootloader, but still running it after a reboot?
What is going on here?
 
No /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids found, skipping ESP sync.

did you remove that file at some point? how are you even booting (legacy bios or UEFI?)? are you using ZFS?
 
I cannot think of a reason why I should have deleted this file on purpose. I didn't mess with the boot, until you pointed out about the missing installed kernel.
I boot via legacy bios and am using the default filesystem.

I cannot find the booted kernel anywhere and all I know about linux doesn't seem to help me

could you post the output of proxmox-boot-tool status and the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? thanks!
 
Please also provide the outputs of:
* `lsblk`
* ` blkid /dev/disk/by-id/*`
