Hey guys!
I use Proxmox 8.13 and currently my virtual machines are showing the error in the title, luckily I keep regular backups.

Apparently the virtual HD is damaged when performing the backup, but the machine continues to operate as if it had no problem of any kind.

As expected, my solution is always to restore the backup, but this is happening quite frequently.

Would anyone have an idea what could cause this?

Please provide the output of pveversion -v and the journal from the time of the backup: journalctl --since '2024-01-15 20:50:00' --until '2024-01-15 21:00:00' > journal.txt

I'm not sure I understand it correctly, the backup breaks the disk even though the guest continues to run?
And you have to restore the disk from backup at this point to get a working disk again?

I have the same problem - new to proxmox - and first try to save a test vm
So very interested to the solution
 
Please provide the output of pveversion -v and the journal from the time of the backup: journalctl --since '2024-01-15 20:50:00' --until '2024-01-15 21:00:00' > journal.txt

I'm not sure I understand it correctly, the backup breaks the disk even though the guest continues to run?
And you have to restore the disk from backup at this point to get a working disk again?
Correct, the backup fails by accusing that the disc is corrupted, in the virtual machine I perform FSCK and VM detects no errors, but Proxmox cannot perform the backup.

Forcing me to restore the virtual machine.

Thanks in advance
Felipe Mendes

It seems your NVMe is failing.
 
Hi, I have the same problem with a new install of last version of proxmox and I don't think my nvme is failing (tested on an other machine).
Could it be a bug ?
Best regards

Looks like it's the same issue, as we can see here:
Hello, same issue. I saw this error first time today after updating from 8.0.4 to 8.1.4, the nvme drive has no errors, I think this has something to do with the new kernel or something similar.

All the VMs I have run perfectly, but I can't back them up. The LXCs have some issues, can't create/can't restore.

The critical medium error spam kinda disappeared, returns only when I try to backup or run a LXC.
Weird coincidence we all get these nvme issues.
