Hi, i have phyzical hetzner server with proxmox 6.3. Мonth ago i got error https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/backup-lxc-bad-message.80474/ .
fsck fix container disk, but the next day another container received an same error. I delete all containers and restore from backup. Everything is working fine, the backup jobs have been working successfully until today, when I received the same bad message error from the container already restored from the backup.
What can be done to prevent the problem from appearing again?
Disk in lvdisplay:
Code:
--- Logical volume ---

That looks like some Hardware issue to me.
Something seems to go wrong in your disk/filesystem or memory

Does the system use ECC memory? In this case this almost can be ruled out.
 
Can you correlate your issue with the uptime of the server?
I experience a strange behavior where my storage goes crazy (one pool) after 24 days of uptime.
on the 25th day of uptime I experience strange errors and the ZFS pool gets suspended.
If I reboot before that all is ok. Scrubs are fine.

SMART does not necessarily mean you dont have an issue in the hardware. This could be bad cables or such.
Of course this is a tough one to rule out...

After reboot server my issue is not gone (uptime before reboot - 45 days).
