Shutdown failure - Oldroot unmount failed.

Hi everyone.

New guy here, and very new with Proxmox PVE.

I've been having an issue when I schedul a shutdown for my VM server.




Sadly, I don't find anaything else in the logs, just that.

Any help is good to find the problem.

Thanks in advance

You mean it stops at “power down” and you have to stop the VM manually?

Hi.

Thanks for the reply.

I mean, when the Proxmox PVE server is shutting down.

all the VMs are shutdown first, no problems there.

then for safety, the server is going to shutdown on weekends, So, there is a cronjob to shutdown the server, but when this process runs, It goes until that screen.

then, we need to press the power button until the machine shutdowns completely, and power on again manually.

OMG, reminds me of Window 98...

Does this only happen with the cron, or also when you shutdown the server yourself?

Windows 98? Same issue? Never see that one.

But, at your question.

Only happens when the cron is executed.
Never when the server is shutdown manually.

And the cron is simple

shutdown - h now

Put it in cron tab file.

Only command that is send it.

By the way, all the VMs are shutdown before the server is going for shutdown.

Not another things that I can spot it.
