Maybe possible to edit the kernel command line on boot to mask the pve-guests.service with systemd.mask=pve-guests .
This way on the next boot after you have finally corrected that disk space issue - you simply reboot & everything should run...
He is showing a total allocated size of 1.7G in his df -h output. This is what I referred to as non-understandable. Why would someone setup PVE like that.
Maybe I'm missing something about ZFS (which I don't use).
in the case of op, he set up the entirety of his only disk(s) as a single zfs pool. he is using it for both his root partition AND his virtual disk space. since zfs zvols deployed by pve are thin provisioned by default, its possible to...
This I understood already. BUT on a regular freshly setup PVE installation you will be using ~3G before any logs, updates etc. So how in his case is the completely allotted size only 1.7G?
So ! It worked !
What I did was :
- disabled the pve-guests service : systemctl disable pve-guests.service
- move the content of /usr/share to the other zpool : mv /usr/share /rdata/
- mkdir /usr/share
- added a bind mount to fstab ...
Missed it, just tried it and it looks like it's working.
Rebooted and the VM was stopped. Now, it looks like I'm able to move the disk to the other zpool storage.
In 20 minutes, I'll know if I can breathe a sigh of relief or not :-D Fingers...
Yes, I didn't set up this server, it's really unfortunate that this mistake was made as another zfs pool exists for the purpose of storing this vm disk...
Is it possible to move the problematic vm disk without using the qm commands ?
I cannot...
The most striking thing with your setup is that (as mentioned by alexskysilk) total root size of 1.7G! This is most unusual for ANY installation. Just plain logging and apt cache updates will quickly fill ALL that space. Not to mention a simple...
this can happen ;)
since there is no room for further writes, you have to "create" some. The only way to do that is to overwrite an existing file with a smaller one. find a large size candidate (like in /var/log) and overwrite it like so:
dd...
Hi guys,
Thanks for your fast reply. I don't know how this system was created but earlier, it showed the root partition as 2.5 GB. I deleted a 800 MB vzdump file and rebooted the server. The VM started again and soon enough the disk was full...
Hello everyone,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. One of our VMs suddenly stopped working. I restarted the VM and it worked fine for a bit but then crashed again (appearing with a yellow warning label on VM in proxmox gui, showing io error or something...
