    [SOLVED] pvestatd.service crashing at midnight

    Hi all, Kind of an ongoing issue that I have been dealing with. It would seem that my pvestatd.service randomly crashes at or very near midnight on one of my nodes. Sometimes this causes only the daemon to crash, other times it will cause the node to become unresponsive until hard-reboot...

    Hello, I've got an Archival HDD installed in my system, additionally to a RAID Z-1 out of 4x 500 GB SSDs. The only issue is that the Archival HDD keeps getting waken up by pvestatd, when stopping the service it usally stays in sleep mode. Any ideas how to fix this issue? spyfly

    pvestatd - multiple network interfaces (4.4)

    Good day, It appears that pvestatd doesn't track all the traffic on all the interfaces in the host summary page, only the "primary" interface. Any pointers how to tell it to track all/other interfaces too?

With last version (4.4.49-1-pve) I have no diskio stats, and with previous 4.4.XX versions I have no stats...

    pvestatd storage is not online

    Hello, I'm receiving this error message on /var/log/syslog of all nodes of my cluster: This event repeats in brief or long intervals (1-30 minutes) and might happen every couple of days. I believe it's impossible that the network is to be blamed. At most, this could be a problem on the NAS...

    pvestatd doesn't let HDDs go to sleep

    Hi, I got Proxmox running on my homeserver. Because I don't need the VM with my storage hdds (passtroughed to the VM) much often, I would like to spindown these hdds when they're not used. I tried hdparm and hd-idle, but both are not able to spindown the hdds. Even if I try to spindown them...
