Host crashing (according to gui) daily

[Nitsua]

I have installed and reinstalled the latest community Proxmox (added sources and updated through apt as well). I tried different OS drives but it seems everything I do results in the node coming offline (according to the gui). The host itself seems to keep running fine just the monitoring is longer available. Any ideas?

Relevant Hardware is:
Mobo - Z9PE-16 2/L
Memory - 4 x Samsung 16gb 1600mhz ECC Reg
Drives - 22 X (mixed) WD Red NAS + Seagate 3TB
OS Drive - Sandisk SSD Ultra 2 120GB
CPU - 2 X Xeon E5-2680 2.7 SP0K

**Bonus Round Problem** How do I pass a folder mounted on host into VM without crashing the host (setup 9p Virtio - seems to wreak havoc).


Thanks and forgive my newness (sp?) to the platform.

what exactly do you mean by this? what monitoring?

How do I pass a folder mounted on host into VM without crashing the host (setup 9p Virtio - seems to wreak havoc).

best to use something like nfs/smb

Thanks for the response. Awesome to see the community here.

Turns out that I had a failing SATA expander card that was doing some really weird stuff as it died.

Dang I was kind of hoping to not mount through NFS. Just out of curiosity do you know if Proxmox runs on a full version of Debian; or is pieces removed to make it smaller and lighter? Wondering cause I am thinking about running docker outside of a VM. Thanks

proxmox is a full debian, you can do everything which you can do on a plain debian (with the exception of some packages which conflict with ours , e.g. libvirt)
