I'm still kind of new to proxmox. I paused and shut down my VMs, click "shut down node" and then moved my hardware. When I turned it back on, I got the above error, as well as

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-sdb.device - /dev/sdb
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for mnt-vmstorage.mount - /mnt/vmstorage
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for local-fs.target - Local File Systems

It then asks for my root password in recovery mode. I'm not sure what to do here. The only storage I had on this device was a brand-new HDD (which I've removed for testing) and an NVME SSD.

I've tried a few things I found on google, like https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/timed-out-for-waiting-for-udev-queue-being-empty.129481/

but it didn't work. I'm not sure what could have happened, it and all the VMs were working just fine before the restart.
 
I fixed it; something in my fstab file was preventing boot. Unfortunately, I think it was working since now I'm unable to mount one of my HDDs, so I'll have to figure out what's going on with that
