Hi, We have a situation where the HostedEngine was cleaned up and the VMs are no longer running. Looking at the logs we can see the drive files as: 2019-03-26T07:42:46.915838Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/glustermount.goku:_vmstore/9f8ef3f6-53f2-4b02-8a6b-e171b000b420/images/b2b872cd-b468-4f14-ae20-555ed823e84b/76ed4113-51b6-44fd-a3cd-3bd64bf93685,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ua-b2b872cd-b468-4f14-ae20-555ed823e84b,serial=b2b872cd-b468-4f14-ae20-555ed823e84b,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none,aio=native: 'serial' is deprecated, please use the corresponding option of '-device' instead I assume this is the disk was writing to before it went down. Trying to list the file gives an error and the file is not there; ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/glustermount.goku:_vmstore/9f8ef3f6-53f2-4b02-8a6b-e171b000b420/images/b2b872cd-b468-4f14-ae20-555ed823e84b/76ed4113-51b6-44fd-a3cd-3bd64bf93685 Is there a way we can recover the VM's disk images ? NOTE: No HostedEngine backups -- Regards, Sakhi Hadebe
