I have migrated about 10 servers from one proxmox server to another, all are working fine except 2.I did the restoration using the "Live Restore" option that it offers when coming from a proxmox backup server.

The server was working when restored, but out of habit, when it finishes, I restart to check that everything is working. Upon restarting, it no longer started with the error:

/dev/sda1 does not exist

I started with the grml.iso disk, edited fstab:

But when trying to start, it still shows the same message. What am I doing wrong?

The difference I see in these servers in the old one that works, is that it certainly appears as vda. Maybe I have to do an additional step?

[root@vps2 ~]# lsblkNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTvda 253:0 0 350G 0 disk├─vda1 253:1 0 349G 0 part /└─vda2 253:2 0 1023M 0 part [SWAP]
 
/dev/vda1 suggest that the virtual disk is connected via VirtIO Block (in the VM settings). /dev/sda1 suggest that you expect it to be connected via (VirtIO) SCSI or SATA. Try detaching the virtual disk and reattach it as (VirtIO) SCSI instead. Or use /dev/vda1 instead of /dev/sda1 etc.
