First of all, I apologize for not following the official documents to increase size.
I very need your help.
Env:
My Proxmox system is set up on a single physical machine running 4 LXCs and a virtual machine (endeavouros OS with KDE), Proxmox is installed on a separate 256GB SSD and everything else is on a 12TB mechanical hard disk.
I'm new to both proxmox and linux (Linux 6month、Proxmox 1month)
Why:
Originally I had given the endeavouros VM 1000G of space to use, and today I wanted to expand the capacity of this VM in order to back up my main computer's files first.
How
1. I didn't close the VM at first, and in the WEB GUI of Proxmox, I selected the hard disk in the Hardware tab of the VM and chose "Resize",then adjusted it to 5TB.
Then restarted the VM and found the available partitions increased, I thought I should also extend the file system to the unused partitions in the VM, so far so good.
2. So I went inside the VM, but I didn't use the command, I installed "KDE's partition manager tool" and used manager's GUI, entered the size I wanted to expand and chose execute, then it show the execution is failed, but I still tried to use different number to scale it up to test if the change was successful.
3. I tried several times with different sizes and succeeded to see the increase in capacity in the file manager (999GB>1.9TB), then I continued to try to see if it could be scaled up to 5TB, but it didn't work, I ran the command by partition manager tool to scale up the partition at least 5 times, but it failed, and that was the beginning of the disaster...
4. After Step3, I restarted the VM and it failed to start.
here is the error msg shot
When I follow the prompts to execute the following command
It returns the following result
After collecting some data, I tried the solution with the highest score
in this article
https://unix.stackexchange.com/ques...tition-table-is-likely-to-be-corrupt-after-pa
executed command
But when I want resize2fs, system say command not found
By the way, lsblk also return command not found to me
So for now, I don't know how to do, although I have a backup, I still hope that the system can restore whitout lose data.
I just want to increase disk size.....
If you need other information plz tell me, I can provide it immediately as fast as I can.
