Inevitably, at some point you're going to need to unlock a vm or container when a backup fails: Unlock VM: qm unlock Unlock container: pct unlock

' lsblk -f ' and ' df -hT ' at a root prompt may help

To locate storage in Proxmox, you can follow these steps:

Through the Web Interface:

1. Log in to the Proxmox Web Interface:

   • Open your web browser and go to the Proxmox VE management interface (e.g., https://<your-proxmox-ip>:8006).

2. Navigate to the Storage Section:

   • Once logged in, select the Datacenter on the left-hand side menu.

   • In the Datacenter view, click on Storage. This will display a list of all storage configured in your Proxmox VE environment.

3. View Storage Details:

   • Clicking on any storage item in the list will show you details such as its type, available space, and other configuration parameters.

4. VM or Container Storage:

   • To see the storage associated with a specific VM or container, select the VM or container from the left-hand menu, then click on Hardware. This will show you the storage disks attached to that VM or container.

Through the Command Line:

1. Access the Proxmox Node:

   • SSH into the Proxmox host where you want to view storage (ssh root@<your-proxmox-ip>).

2. List Available Storage:

   • Use the command pvesm status to list all configured storage and their current status.

3. Check Disk Usage:

   • You can also use df -h to see the disk usage of mounted filesystems.

4. View Detailed Storage Configuration:

   • Storage configurations are typically found in the file /etc/pve/storage.cfg. You can view this file with a text editor or by using the cat command:

     cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

These steps should help you locate and manage storage in Proxmox VE. If you need to add or modify storage, this can also be done through the storage section in the web interface or by editing the storage.cfg file.
