Hello,

I have a new system on 8.0.3 that is having issues with NIC (or something else). Network activity stops, you can see system is running but network connectivity is shut. Tried to connect monitor but its blank/black so can't see.

Rebooting entire server server fixes it temporarily but it seems like system cannot hold even 24 hours without a outage.

System Info:
CPU(s) 16 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (1 Socket)

Kernel Version
Linux 6.2.16-3-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PVE 6.2.16-3 (2023-06-17T05:58Z)
PVE Manager Version
pve-manager/8.0.3/bbf3993334bfa916

Motherboard (realtek)
B550M DS3H AC

Most recent happened around 2AM but can't really see anything around that time, journal snipper here as well as entire log from that timeframe (via pastebin)

Around 02:18;00 is when the physical reboot happens but no messages prior that. 01;45;58 it seems like last message.

Any advise on what to look at?! I have other "exact" system that its been stable for 9+ days already. Was wondering if going 8.1 could help with perhaps NIC drivers?!

8.0 is missing security patches so yes, always a good idea to patch to the latest version.
And yes, PVE8.0 got problems with Realtek NICs like the RTL8111/8411/8168. But then your display still should output something if it would just be a network problem.

Thanks @Dunuin for reply.

Do we know if the Realtek NICs issues were remediated with 8.1 release?!

Can't be 100% sure on the display since it was remote helped - left the screen on from now on.
 
@spirit @Dunuin after the upgrade, I've been monitoring the screen for any anomalies. So far uptime been 6 hours but received this message:
"Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process ...." - see pic below. Just throwing this out there, if this in any shape or form could be related...b664e853-1502-48c5-874b-348c078097e6.jpg

Not sure if this is false positive or could be related to my issue?!

Server installed with 128GB RAM and is running (2) LXC containers at 62GB each with 2GB Swap

Currently RAM utilization on PVE is under 50% (45%). I have multiple systems with same config and never had issues or system going 100%.

yes, it was fixed in kernel 6.5

Still hab problems with a r8168 refusing to work after updating from PVE 7.4 to 8.0 (which should skipped the 6.2 kernel). At least here updating 8.0 to latest 8.1 fixed it.

. Do you know if similar behavior was captured where NIC just goes inactive/down?!

Yes, thats the problem. NIC won't work at all or go down after some time.
