[SOLVED] io-error after changing nothing?

[plumphomie]

Hi,

First time using proxmox (or anything similar) as I am trying to setup my own servers for stuff like Minecraft and plex. My vms were working fine until they just weren't? I checked in on them one day and now everything is just io-error. I have no idea why this would be happening, and I can't find any other info on why. My drive is only ~80% full.

I saw some other threads detailing that the drive being full would cause issues, but I can't seem to figure this out. My friend helped me set a lot of it up so I'm not super familiar with all the terms, but I have 2 Windows vms, one for hosting a MC server, and another for testing, and 2 containers, one for running plex in a docker container and another running nginx (I think that's correct terminology).

Any help would be appreciated (feel free to ask for screenshots of anything, I'm trying to learn Linux so I might need the commands written out for me)

Thanks!

Hi,
what does pvesm status show? Please check your system journal with journalctl -b for any errors around the time the issue happened. If you already rebooted, you can use -b-1 to see the last boot or journalctl --since=yesterday. You can check the health of the physical drives with smartctl -a /dev/XYZ putting the correct name instead of XYZ of course.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. Turns out my drive WAS full, and that was causing the errors. After doing some reorganizing, I was able to get everything back up and running. Thanks for your quick response though!
