Pfsense VM recovery

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, 

 

I was fidling around with my pfsense VM. I tried the change the vDisk location (not even sure why now), but the VM did not like it so I just put everything back and restarted the VM. However I am unable to boot the vDisk and pfsense wants to start fresh installation on every boot. I tried restarting the VM service and I got libvirt not found error. I deleted it, rebooted unraid and started the VM service again - successfully. 

I backed up everything before Operation Major Mistake so I recovered the xml VM setup and loaded the existing vdisk but I am still getting the same - fresh installation is the only option. 

Is there a way how to push the existing vdisk to boot?

Or just get the pfsense config from the vDisk? As that is the only file I do not have backed up. 

I also did a "fix permissions" from tools in unraid as I had some files with wrong permissions. So this might have something to do with this whole problem.

 

Thanks for your time
