I can make Proxmox freeze

[scopedial]

Hello All
This is a bit disturbing but I think I need to report this somewhere.
I can make my instance of Proxmox freeze, with no error reporting.
I am running the application Immich (most recent version) within a VM on my installation of Proxmox VE version 8.4.14.
It is running on docker (up to date) on AlmaLinux 9.5 (Fedora).
This is running on a Lenovo Tiny P330 with an i7 processor and 32G of memory.
I am using an ASUS NAS as storage for my photos and is reachable through SMB.
The problems start when I do a bulk upload from flash storage (SD card). If the file is too big it will
cause proxmox and the system underneath to freeze requiring a complete powercycle.
I have not been able to gather any relevant logs for this problem.

Any thoughts?

Hi!

How did you try to gather the logs? Are there no logs at the end for e.g. journalctl -b <boot-nr>? If this is block-related in any way it might happen, because the kernel panics and cannot write to any storage media anymore. In these cases, setting up some form of external console (e.g. netconsole [0] [1]) can help to gather a log from that.

I'm not familiar with Immich at all, but how is the bulk upload done? Is there any passthrough being done? How is the VM setup (qm config <vmid>)?

I hope to provide more information on the weekend. Immich is something I use for my photo hobby.
I was bulk uploading using Firefox from a microSD card. I think the video files are about 2.5 GB.
I believe I was "following" journalctl on the VM when it just froze. I think that I was doing the same on the Proxmox host (P330).
Again, I will use your recommendations to gather further information.
