Login failed suddenly

[bravo0916]

Hello,

I could login in this morning, but I got error like "login failed" error. The proxmox is stand alone machine and there are no other cluster memebers are attached.
I tried to login on the other browsers like Chrome, Edge, Safari and I selected PAM authentication. None of them works. Also, I tried to restart pve-cluster service.
The PVE version is 9.0.3 that I updated it yesterday.

Note: I can access to the machine via SSH and VM machine are up and running becasue I also can access to them.

I really appreciate for your help!!

Run journalctl -f and then log in. Show what is being logged.

Hi Impact,

I rebooted the machine before doing your command. I found that there is fstab error. One of SSD disk is ext4 partition. There are some VM data.
I put mount point in the fstab as below. But it was failed during rebooting and it was stopped as emergency mode. I would like to know about correct parameter.

dev/sda1 /mnt/pve/vmbackup ext4 default 1 2



Once this disk is mounted, then I need to configure storage option like "directory" from datacenter right? (storage.cfg file)

I need to see the error. Try this

/dev/sda1 /mnt/pve/vmbackup ext4 defaults,nofail 1 2

Note that mounting by device name (which can and will change) like this is a terrible idea. Use the file system's UUID. Read these

Hi Impact,

That works! Thank you for your help! BTW, can I ask you for "nofail" meaning?

It's explained in the link. The list of mount options is also linked there: https://man.archlinux.org/man/mount.8

nofail
Do not report errors for this device if it does not exist.

It basically lets you boot even if the device is missing.
