Hi,

I have this error when i try to make a backup from my LXC container.
From my VM no problem.

I have an USB drive mounted in /mnt/USB500GB.

How can i fix it ?

I don't understand why proxmox do that. In the past i had the same usb mounted in /mnt, but now i have more than one usb drive, so i create a folder for every drives mounted, under /mnt.

This is my backup log.

Code:
Task viewer: VM/CT 101 - Backup

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 101 --mode snapshot --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --compress zstd --remove 0 --storage FRIGATE --node NUCi3

INFO: Failed at 2022-06-30 08:40:46
INFO: Backup job finished with errors

I use chattr +i in /mnt, to protect accidentally writes into an umounted folder, but now is mounted and doesn't works...

Hi,

how did you configure the USB as storage on you PVE node? Can you maybe provide the file /etc/pve/storage.cfg?

Thanks!

I'm desperate, I edited /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump/LXC.pm in mount point and I replace /mnt/vzsnap0 to mnt/USB500GB/vzsnap , but I rebooted and now i can see what's happened because i don't have here this machine.

I can fix it? How? ;(

I have access from SSH, and i have tried to change in
/usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump/LXC.pm
$default_mount_point
like default, so /mnt/vzsnap0

but file is read only and i cant edit now, i don't understand why is on it, because before edit the first time and reboot, this file was writable.

Anyway gui doesn't come up and also vm's doesn't come up, so maybe is this file the issue and need to fix?

Please can you help me?

I have tried to shutdown and reboot, without success.

There is a way to fix it, from ssh ? ( i didn't have local access for now , i must get an airplane for that...... )
 
Hi,
your screenshot shows that the filesystem where /var/lib/apt/lists belongs to is read-only. If /mnt belongs to the same filesystem, that's likely the reason mkdir fails too. You need to find out why it's read-only. Cheking /var/log/syslog and the systemd journal might be a place to start.

Here log, but I can fix it anyway from only SSH?

For the Detected Hardware Unit Hang issue, please check out this thread. There's no solution, because it might be a hardware issue, but a reliable workaround.

For the read-only issue, I'd suggest you also check journalctl -b0. Use findmnt to find the relevant drive. I'd check the syslog for message about that, also from during boot.

The output seems to have gotten messed up, and I'd guess earlier (i.e. closer after boot) messages might've been more telling. But there is one cut-off message, which might be the proper hint?

What you suggest ;(
 
Find out what the full error message is. Find out if the drive connected there is the one where /var lives (e.g. findmnt and maybe earlier parts of the logs help). If it really is the cable, I'm afraid that can't be fixed remotely.

Previous logs was var/log/syslog, where can I find "findmnt"? Which log file? Inside var/lig
 
findmnt is a command. If it's not installed, you can also use mount without any parameters.

Anyway this issue read only and not web GUI and not any vm started, is when I edited /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump/LXC.pm in mount point and I replace /mnt/vzsnap0 to mnt/USB500GB/vzsnap. I guess that when promos started, /mnt/USB500GB isn't mounted, so file system goes into read only.

Anyway I really hope to fix it remotely. Get an airplane for that is very hard :'(
 
The issue is that your root mount is read only (ro), which can be seen here /dev/mapper/pve-root on / type ext4 (ro,relatime). On which drive does the pve volume group live? You can use the command pvs to see which drives make up the volume group (VG) pve.

After you've determined that you can check if it's the same as the USB cable error. Otherwise please check the earlier parts of your journal/syslog for errors regarding the drive with the root mount.
