Hello

I cannot recover some VMs from PBS to Proxmox PE
VM has couple of GBs, for example 64GB, my pve/data has 1,6TB free space. But recovery job is stopped for example after 24% and it ends with following error.

It looks like PE think the VM is 7,5TB big and then of course. It can not fit to 1,6TB. But why? Wha shall I check?

It says that the size of all logical volumes is 7.5TiB. What is the output of lvs?

However, I don't think that running out of space would make a restore hang.

Hello Lukas

I am new in Proxmox. Is lvs a command which shall I run? It did not return anything.

I forget to say that VMs are stored on PE server A and I do a test recovery to PE server B.

Thanks for help.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant that you should run lvs as root in a terminal on your PVE host.

Are there any other VMs/CTs on this host?
