Acess has ssh problem

[spoxy31]

Hello,
(proxmox : pve-manager/3.4-5)
During this weekend something has to change. Last week, I could connect via ssh. And this week I could not.

Looking more closely, I realized that the folder /etc/ssh/ renamed in the /etc/sshd/. All files in that folder Date Sunday, April 26th at 00h 00m and 11s!

I copied the folder /etc/sshd/ in /etc/ssh/ and restart the ssh service. I was able to connect via ssh!

The question: Is it normal to have a folder whose name changes? Is it possible hacking or an update of Proxmox or ????

Thank you in advance

No, this is not normal.

Indeed, it is not normal!

Proxmox The server is hosted by OVH. Behind, I have a hardware raid with two 3TB drives.

I had heard that the software raid is not reliable under proxmox.

What do you think proxmox with hardware raid?

do you know dietmar is the main proxmox developer, do you?
and did you read this http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Raid_controller ?
and http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Software_RAID

but if you open a thread about a folder, don't hijack it yourself talking about raid, it won't help you and others
if you need answer about raid, look the wiki, search forums, and maybe then ask in a specific thread...

Thank you Marco,
I read the pages about the raid.

The problem of ssh folder and the raid are certainly related.

I do not see why change a folder name, with all files with the same date.

If the raid really the cause, I would say Proxmox is unreliable for a company and that I must find another solution.

??? how can raid change a folder name, I can't guess for sure... but it may be me.
and sorry, but about proxmox to be suited... if your raid controller is good and healthy, every OS running over it will be reliable.

proxmox ve runs a redhat (stable) derived kernel on a debian (stable) derived distribution with many added tools

pve supports hardware raid (and recently also zfs which has its raidz), and a bbu (or similar protection) is needed.
pve also works (not supported) on mdraid (I used it once) but pve devs judged it less reliable and powerful for pve scope, afaik.

So evaluate and choose, but be sure to know well relevant details before judging any solution.

A hardware raid controller presents the OS with a 'virtual' disk/device. The OS does not touch the raid at that point...

If you have an issue with a directory, blaming the hardware raid or saying proxmox changed something based on hardware raid is silly.
