Unable to wipe disk on proxmox

[devrimer]

Hello everyone,
I hope you're all well.

I've been struggling to wipe a Disk located a /dev/sdb.



but shows as disk full.



and it shows that disk size different here




Support appreciated,
Devrimer

Hi,

sea1tb-1 is the name of the storage. Disks/partitions assigned to a storage are showing this usage in Usage column in Storage => Disk overview. But in your screenshot the usage column states no.
Do you have only the two rows shown in the first screenshot or are there more entries?

For the second screenshot: it is an LVM. Click on your node and then in Disks => LVM you will see the disks/partitions it resides in. What is listed there?

Hi,

I wanted to show you that sea1tb-1 looks full in the picture.

yes I have all of my disks. I just shared problematic one.

Here is the list of Disks => LVM


Thank you for your support.

You need to make sure that PVE is not using the disk for Storage (remove it in the GUI)

Then, you have a couple of options:

' wipefs -a /dev/sdb '
' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100 status=progress '

MAKE SURE you put the right disk device in. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for data loss!

If neither of these work, disk might be going bad

If it succeeds, then you can put a new GPT label on the disk with e.g. gdisk or parted

Thanks for the info,

I run those commands but it did not solved.
I believe this disk not in good condition.
how can I check this disk health status ?
and as you can see when I try to add disk I can see that sea1tb-1 is capacity and avail section is corrupted.



and can you explain what does this command makes exactly ?
' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100 status=progress '
I do not know, that why I am asking.

Thanks for your support!

The first 100MB of the disk are overwritten with zero's as there is the place where label, volume and filesystem informations reside on (first 2M but any further doesn't any hurt).
See disk health with "smartctl -x /dev/sdb".

 

[devrimer]

this is the output:

I do not understand so much. and what should I check in here?

many thanks!

and how can I add those disks to my vm ?

those disk were in that vm, I delete it them, and I wipe them. and I am try to to add back them to that vm, but I am getting this error:




many thanks for your help guys!
this means a lot !

 

[waltar]

To smartctl output - for hdd's these 3 lines are the most important to health status :
5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct PO--CK 100 100 010 - 7 # 7 sectors were bad in the past and were replaced by reserve ones
197 Current_Pending_Sector -O--C- 100 100 000 - 0 # Actual no tries of repair of unread(/write/)able sectors from firmware
198 Offline_Uncorrectable ----C- 100 100 000 - 0 # When >0 buy new disk and change it, so this disk looks good.
There could be lot of other cmd timeout and errors reported but not the case here now but if ... think for new disk again.

 

[waltar]

and how can I add those disks to my vm ?

It depends what you mean !
You could passthrough the physical disk to a vm.
You could make a lvm or zfs zvol or even filesystem onto and create an additional virtual disk for your vm layed down in that.
Maybe you should read a little bit more about storage usage in the pve documentation as this never is a bad idea.

 

[devrimer]

those disk were using on my vm;
sea1tb-0, sea1tb-1, sea1tb-2, sea1tb-3

and I removed them from vm via web gui.
and I wipe them in node section disk area.

now I want to add those disks to my same vm.
how can I do that?

those are the disks that I want to add to my vm:
sea1tb-0, sea1tb-2, sea1tb-3
because sea1tb-1 is not working anymore.

I tired in my vm hardware section. but I am getting this error: failed to update VM 104: no such volume group 'sea1tb-0' (500)

 

[fba]

You hadn't added physical disks to the vm but logical ones (LVMs) which resides on the physical disks. LVM is a structure for organizing the data stored on physical disks. sea1tb-0, sea1tb-1, sea1tb-2, sea1tb-3 were most likely all names of LVM you had before. If you wipe a disk, the LVM is gone of course. And what's gone can't be assigned.
waltar already mentioned the options you have, so what is it, what you want to do? Pass-through the physical disks? There is a wiki entry for that: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Passthrough_Physical_Disk_to_Virtual_Machine_(VM)
Other wise just follow waltar's advice and recreate whatever structure you need on the disks with gui and then add them to your vm.

thanks for the answers.
