I unsuccesfully tried to login to my proxmox instance remotely. I was quite sure that my password was correct, but I had to drive to the physical machine, which showed the message
Code:
systemd-journald: failed to create new system journal: no space left on device
After hard reset and reboot, the message was gone and I could login again.
Questions:
- Where can I find the logs which caused this problem?
- What can I do to prevent this from happening in future?
- Can someone point me to existing documentation, which brings light into this situation?
Thanks in advance!
