Proxmox 7.4.1 crashing 10-15 mins after launching VM

[samh]

Hi, I have a number of issues with my server that started recently - I believe it shutdown due to a power cut while I was away (it does sit behind a UPS but auto-shutdown isn't setup). We very rarely get cuts of more than a few seconds.

This machine has been running flawlessly for a few years now.

The machine has an AMD FX-8350 CPU, 1x 128GB SSD (boot), 1x 500GB SSD, 2 x 3TB HDDs & 1 x 4TB HDD, 24GB RAM.

The first symptoms were that, upon my return, it wouldn't boot due to it not being able to find the filesystem (ext4) on 2 of the disks (500GB SSD & 1 x 3TB HDD). I removed those from /etc/fstab and it then boots without issue.

Repairing those drives didn't work (it looked like it did but the disks still wouldn't mount). I then tried to re-format the drives using Parted - which also looks like it works, but then doesn't.

I've also tried this using fdisk, same issue occurs. If I remove the drives and put them in my Windows PC, it can format and use it without issue. Smart also reports no issues with the drives.

The second issue is that, when using a VM (Home Assistant on HASS OS), the host just powers off 10-15 minutes after booting it. If I leave the host running just my containers, it will run fine for hours (albeit without all the disks mounted).

I'm hoping someone might have some hints/tips? I have tried a different PSU and that hasn't made a difference.

Thanks

You know, you'd probably get what you're describing if there was an issue with the power supply in the host. I don't know if you have a spare machine to check, but you could always borrow the power supply from your Windows machine [if it's powerful enough and has enough connectors] and see if the proxmox host runs without shutting down.

Again, only a theory.
