unable to parse volume ID '/dev/sdb1'

[Will Smith]

I am a beginner with Proxmox VE and hope everyone can help me, thank you very much

Environment​

Proxmox VE version: 7.43
I have two physical disks, local-lvm and local-sdb1, the latter should be manually created, but I forgot how I did it exactly

Requirements​

Because local-lvm lacks space, virtual machines cannot start and IO errors occur, I deleted some snapshots, now they can start, but I want to move the virtual machine from local-lvm to local-sdb1

Problem​

---

When I move VM B to the new location through the web interface, I encountered the error unable to parse volume ID '/dev/sdb1' (500), VM B was produced by linking cloning, but VM A is the product of full cloning, so he can complete this operation very smoothly, I don't know where the problem is, I can't find the answer through Google

Thank you for your help, the output is as follows, but there is one content that I don’t seem to know how to input, please check it out, thank you very much

Thanks, sorry for the late reply

sdb1 cannot be passthrough in your .conf because it's already defined as a directory datastore "local-sdb1"
if it's a datastore, virtual disks are stored in sub folder of /mnt/sdb1
