I have archived a virtual machine which has been launched for a couple of months and on start I get
"A disk read error has occurred. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart"
This is on boot.
I've restored the backup from PBS which only took a few seconds. So that is strange as its a large image.
The disk is on scsi-0 and raw format.
The backup now gives the same error.
Are there any commands in proxmox to verify the disk ?
Thanks
Paul

hi,

can you try using IDE instead of SCSI?

if that doesnt work post your VM config: qm config VMID
