I have Proxmox VE 5.1-35. Switched the IP address and now I cant seem to modify any the VM definitions:

I get an error about permissions: permission error

I'm not much of a linux permissions debugger so I'm a bit stumped. Heres the ls of that directory: enter image description here

BTW, when the IP changed, I had to move everything from pve to pve1, not sure why that is, something about Proxmox

Any help is appreciated.

    You can see that the directory is not writable by anyone.

Did you change the permissions when moving the files? How did you accomplish the move? (For something like this, you should supply the -p flag to cp, or the -a flag to rsync if using those tools.)

For the moment, chmod u+w /etc/pve/nodes/pve1/qemu-server should get you past this particular error, but if you changed other permission (intentionally or inadvertantly as part of the file move), you might run into more issues in the future.

  • i think i just used cd /etc/pve/nodes/pve then mv qemu-server/* ../pve1/qemu-server

  • i just ran mount and it says /dev/fuse on /etc/pve type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other). I'm guessing thats the problem?
