Hi all!

The VM configuration:

Code:
root@jros:~# cat /etc/pve/nodes/jros/qemu-server/100.conf
bootdisk: scsi0
cores: 4
ide2: local:iso/gparted-live-1.1.0-1-amd64.iso,media=cdrom,size=355M

vmgenid: 212c2cba-ee84-4cd1-9dec-af0da3dcfbdf

The machine was running for along time, the las time I stop it I was doing a disk wipe with ddrescue, the command: "sudo ddrescue --force /dev/zero /dev/sde ddrescue_mapfile".

ddrescue found too many error in the disk, that confirm my suspects and I decided to kill ddrescue from other terminal. Due to I can't stop the process I decided stop the machine throught PVE GUI... the VM stoped but not start again.

Any help? thanks in advanced!
 
OMG!! reading my own question I found the error ...
I had deleted the ISO image mounted on IDE2 ... DAWM!!

Deleting ide2 solved the problem.
