Long story short, I have 2 physical servers which I use to run Proxmox. A week ago I saw there is a new stable version of Proxmox VE, so regarding best practices before major upgrade I should have a backup (restorable backup). So I backed up my servers with CloneZilla then created new VM in virtualbox and tried to restore from backup - unfortunately I end up with broken grub which says: disk UUID.... not found, then went to grub rescue mode.
Let me tell you more about the partitioning:
I have two disks with 3 partitions:
Used as software RAID with mdadm tools
Used as RAID-Z (stripe) member 1
Used as RAID-Z (stripe) member 2
So on top of the RAID volume I have LVM, then the root file system and the rest.Two issues I faced by now:
For some reasons I even can't see the grub menu/loader.
For some reasons when I type ls in grub recovery console, I can't see md devices assembled
I really don't have a clue how to proceed further.Any advice's are welcomed.
Which version of Clonezilla live did you use?
BTW, RAID is complicated, and plus thin provisioning in LVM... Clonezilla does not support that very well..
