Hello. I’m setting up a new server using Incus as my hypervisor.
I’ve found that my root partition was full after try to import a 500GB VM raw image (Windows 2012 one). I’ve found that /var/lib/incus/disks was full, so I stopped Incus, restarted it, but same thing happened. Then reboot the computer and now root seems ok in space. But now I have my containers stopped and when I try to start them I’m receiving
Error: Storage pool “default” unavailable on this server
so I did incus storage list

and then incus storage show default

I was getting crazy and then I’ve found that no default.img file exists, but
source: /var/lib/incus/disks/default.img in my storage config....
What could be happening?
EDIT3: trying incus admin recovery:
incus admin recover
This server currently has the following storage pools:
- default (backend="lvm", source="/var/lib/incus/disks/default.img")
Would you like to recover another storage pool? (yes/no) [default=no]:
The recovery process will be scanning the following storage pools:
- EXISTING: "default" (backend="lvm", source="/var/lib/incus/disks/default.img")
Would you like to continue with scanning for lost volumes? (yes/no) [default=yes]:
Scanning for unknown volumes...

When I choose ‘1’ to begín the import process executing bin.linux.incus-migrate.x86_64 I’m getting this rsync error:
