i got the server upgraded to 1.4.0 now, but my backing images were messed up. now i cant seem to get the volumes that were using a backing image to come up. any help would be appreciated

Did you check this important section before performing the upgrade? https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.4/upgrade/v1-3-2-to-v1-4-0#preventing-corruption-of-vm-images-during-upgrade

i did, and i ran it, but i was able to cheat dns, standup an nginx server and it pulled the image. lucky i guess! 🙂
