I habe been using several Proxmox versions from 2.x to 3.x and I was (nearly) almost very happy with them.
But v4.x drives me crazy.
My use scenario: I have a Proxmox standalone server that is running 24/7. The machine is fully encrypted. For backup purposes only I have an additional file server that offers a nfs share to Proxmox. This file server is powered off most of the time and gets only started when it is really needed for backing up or restoring a virtual machine. Every night the fileserver is waking up automatically, Proxmox writes automatic backups to the nfs share on the file server and after that the file server shuts down again.
This has been working flawlessly with Proxmox 2.x and 3.x.
Now I am trying to use Proxmox 4.x in the same way but I get issues:
1) Reboot or shutdown fails
Most of the time the Proxmox server hangs with the message "Reached target shutdown" and I have to press the reset or power button manually.
2) The Web GUI fails
This is happening many times when the file server is up and running and I try to access its content in the web GUI. The GUI shows me the rotating sand clock endlessly. The whole web interface hangs.
"service pveproxy restart" or "service pvestatd restart" via ssh do not not help. It even gets impossible to log in to the web interface any more.
The log says:
I have to reboot to fix the situation, but rebooting fails most of the time as described above.
This makes Proxmox 4.x unusable for me
