[SOLVED] Unused Disk 0

[CCWTech]

On one of my VM's I have "Unused Disk 0 Data:vm-101-disk-0"

Of course no one knows what this is. Is there a way to see if it has any data on it? I'm a bit apprehensive to just attach it.

You have to attach it somewhere to see what is on it. Either the Hypervisor or the VM...

You can examine the structure of the disk from the hypervisor with : lsblk , fdisk , blkid
You can also use the same commands from within the VM.

Generally, there is no "auto-play" on "hard disk", so you should be ok to examine it anywhere.

Good luck

Thank you. I was having problems with backups and discovered it. I'll get a good backup tonight and then attach it tomorrow and see if there is even any data on it. Thank you so much.

One other question, the fact that it's disk 0 and I have a disk 0 that is attached won't be a conflict?

They are on different storage pools. Each storage pool has its own counter.

You can also attach it to a different adapter, e.g. virtio or scsi
