My new installation just died

1. Your mini-pc has a power problem, that can't power correctly when the above dongle is attached.
2. On recent Proxmox kernels (I believe from 6.8), some people with some USB devices have complete USB bus crashes. This maybe what you are experiencing.

These were actually good points from @gfngfn256, both re Zigbee (1) and USB bus (2) and the kernel could explain if started to happen to you only now, but I understood you installed it only recently, so this was first time you went on to reboot...

This does not make much sense to me. I mean I believe your observations are valid, but I do not think it's related (with the install media).

Yeah, I would agree. The same situation happened with a previously owned NUC. On a restart it wouldn't boot up but inserting the install media did something. Or it seemed to kick start something so it booted up. I'm probably making some assumptions and misreading something.

This is a USB drive that it is storing video onto?

Yes, a 1TB USB SSD. It records 24/7 and automatically deletes a portion when more space is needed.

Where's the mounting script? I suspect you are mounting it too early, that's delaying your boot.

The install script for the SSD drive is here. It's part of the program install procedure.

The this should be removed from /etc/fstab, can you check what's in cat /etc/fstab?

root@kilnclose:~# cat /etc/fstab
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/pve/root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=39D5-FF15 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1
/dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

It will take 2min to boot for no good reason. You should fix this.

It sure didn't seem like two minutes to boot up this morning. I'm a little gun shy about about rebooting to test it out though.

Alright, I think I know now what's going on, I confused myself above, in fact.

Can you show:

# fill in whatever $VMID you chose for your NVR

cat /etc/pve/lxc/$VMID.conf

# and then also

lsblk -o +UUID

Maybe I messed that one up.

Ok, so now, let's check how this was mounted:

mount | grep /mnt/pve/nvr-storage/mounts/scrypted-nvr mnt/nvr/large/nvr-storage

root@kilnclose:~# lsblk -o +UUID[/CODE]
Maybe I messed that one up.

Yeah, this forum is also a bit messed up. There's two way here to include code-like text, inline or block. Either you use the icons above looking like </> and [>_] (inline and block respectively), or you enclose whatever text into (I am putting in extra space to have it show) [ ICODE ] [ /ICODE ] and [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] tags.

I think you just copied the forum tag somehow.

It should be:

lsblk -o +UUID

Possibly you have secure-boot enabled in BIOS. Try disabling it. Also check in BIOS that the PVE system disk is the first boot device option.
