Great ideas! I will check them out. Not aware of RPC Shutdown, but having never had this happen to any other device on our network, that seems least likely. I'll be back at some point ;)

I don't mind sharing the logs. Just... boring :) I'm thinking it's in noVNC -- not internal to the VM, and not (exactly) in ProxMox either LOL. Here's a sample log. VM 710 is the VM of interest:

Ummm... that page provides rather "subtle" documentation :) ... It's a sentence within an explanatory note?! Emphasis mine: In further searching, I don't find "prelaunch" anywhere in the Wiki, nor the Administrator's Guide. And I don't find a clear explanation of this risk anywhere in the...

Thanks, good questions. nothing at all in journalctl at that time... only when the shutdown is complete. So honestly I can't see how ProxMox is involved in initiating the shutdown. Haven't set up auto-restart (although starting to wonder if that's a necessary workaround :( ) I can disconnect...

I am new to using Windows in a VM, but VERY experienced with windows. Very often (multiple times a day), I'm online via noVNC in the ProxMox console, doing stuff in the VM. Suddenly, the VM starts to shut down. Windows event viewer says Explorer.exe did it at my request, "other (planned)"...

@fiona I think the biggest caution for me is this: Until now, I literally had NO idea, nor reason to believe, that a stopped VM would or could ever go active (even partially) "all by itself" in any scenario. I always think of a VM as literally a virtual computer system If off, it is OFF Truly...

THAT leads to the root of the problem, combined with side effects unknown to me until now: ProxMox auto-schedules VM backups at 00:00:00 Saturday morning Those backups temporarily partly-activate all VM's even if off Apparently, that partial-activation is sufficient to activate passed-through...

Sure... and I think you found it!!! ;) See below. Not only is this PCIe passthrough for the nVIdia card (hostpci0: 0000:01:00,pcie=1) but ALSO, VM 791 (also disabled) is an almost-duplicate with the same pass through. Here's a strange thought... at the moment I am traveling and can't test the...

I could but that sounds like a bandaid, not a solution ;)

So perhaps there's an unusual bug related to this... talk about obscure. May need to deep-dive on debug levels of the process.

It started the first Saturday after I added the second NVMe/mirror in early April. (Since it only happens once a week, it took a while to eliminate seemingly more obvious causes. My first thought was hardware issues... ;) ) I didn't know fleecing existed, so no ;) ... AND remember: I can't...

This is one of the strangest issues in my 50+ years of computing. Your help, ideas, diagnostic or solution suggestions most welcome! CONTEXT I have a pair of almost-the-same Proxmox VM hosts. (HP Z2 G5 SFF, well loaded.) Both have NVMe 1TB ZFS mirrored primary storage Host 2 is MUCH less busy...

I am curious: I've never heard of a pure HDMI video interface card (ie one that says it is "HDMI"). What does lspci | grep -i hdmi show on your system? Every sample I can find shows "VGA compatible" for any video, and "HDMI" shows up on the audio controller (which doesn't matter for this.)...

That's somewhat bad advice: 1) Yes, hitting ESC ends any data entry command (insert, append, 'open' (above or below this line) etc) ) 2) Fancy commands do NOT begin with ";" (semicolon). They begin with ":" colon! 3) But easier than :wq is ZZ (capital Z, capital Z) which is save and exit. vi --...

And neither does PLP. To quote the OpenZFS page I linked above (emphasis mine): Please re-read the OpenZFS page I linked (and the Kingston further details if interested. Not all vendors are that forthcoming with their methods!) Your explanation dates to much older hardware. For almost a...
