So, we had a boot drive failure in our new server we are getting into commission and I hadn't yet setup a backup of the /etc/pve/qemu-server directory.
I have to create the .conf files manually. I was able to get all the storage for vm's and vm backups on line relatively easily.
I was following Patrick @Serve the home's method shown here:
https://www.servethehome.com/9-step-calm-and-easy-proxmox-ve-boot-drive-failure-recovery/2/
The thing is that the disk size shown in the vm datastore for the previous vm is an odd size - like 218GB. I've never created a 218GB disk.
Would it be ok for me to add the disk in the conf file at 220GB? i.e. round up? I think the critical thing here would be that the disk is not smaller in any way than the previous vm.
Advice please.
