    Proxmox crashing and killing NVMe SSDs

    It’s a different installation running now compared to the one in the screenshots, but I can’t remember activating something called LUKS the last time either. Can’t see any mentions of LUKS in the current installation below? NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda...

    Proxmox crashing and killing NVMe SSDs

    Proxmox crashing and killing NVMe SSDs

    Wow! That's some really good input. Thanks a lot. I will keep an eye on the number of writes during the next couple of days. However it might have been a combination of restoring from backup and high swap usage that caused a high initial number of writes. The number isn't increasing much now...

    I can understand that it's not intended for server use, but then I would've expected a shortened lifetime rather than completely dying after a couple of weeks (the first one even died within the first week of use). Overheating could be a possible problem, at least I cannot say for sure that it...

    Proxmox crashing and killing NVMe SSDs

    I am using Proxmox on an Intel NUC8i5BEH as a home server running a couple of VMs. I'm new to Proxmox but decided to give it a try when I was moving my main Docker host from a Synology DS916+ to the NUC. Please ask me if you need additional information as this is my first forum post and I'm not...
