Hi.
I have added an 18 TB raid 5 drive. When I check to see if Proxmox recognises the drive I saw in the web GUI, I can initialise the drive. After clicking it and waiting for a few hours, nothing changed, and the task was still running.

In the console, there were a few errors (Unfortunately I did not take a picture) and by refreshing the web GUI it will no longer load. I thought proxmox crashed or something but after restarting the server I got this on boot:

I have tried the Rescue boot but It ends with this:

I don't know much about proxmox or Linux to understand what happened.

Booting into Windows works fine and all my drives are working except for the 18TB one which was not initialised.

I have tried this and grml gave me the 'Timed out for waiting the udev queue being empty' error as well on boot.
 
I was able to find a solution that somehow fix it. I was able to get the drive that proxmox was installed on mounted to a Ubuntu WSL and apply the fix.
