Hi,
since this weekend my PVE Server does not accept my rott Password anymore.
I even set it again via passwd, but PVE does not accept it

I don't know where to look. I have root access to the physical machine.
 
Hi,
do you mean the web UI or via ssh? In the first case, please check that the correct realm (PAM) is selected. In the latter case, is PermitRootLogin set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
 
And via ssh it works? To rule out some keyboard config issue or something along those lines, please try typing out the password in the username field first to see if it's what you expect to be typing. Is Wrong Password the full error message?
 
Well SSH does work.

the complete message says "Login failed. Please try again"

I saw a little timedrift and setup the ntp. But still the same error. The backups meanwhile fail too
100 VM 100 FAILED 00:00:00 unable to open file '/etc/pve/nodes/hostname/qemu-server/100.conf.tmp.117814' - Input/output error
 
sounds like an issue with pmxcfs.. is it quorate (pvecm status / systemctl status pve-cluster corosync)?
 
isn't corosync only for clusters?
I have a standalone machine

pvecm does say similar
root@pvetest:~# pvecm status
Error: Corosync config '/etc/pve/corosync.conf' does not exist - is this node part of a cluster?

root@pvetest:~# systemctl status pve-cluster corosync

can you touch a file on pmxcfs? like touch /etc/pve/test? if not, anything visible in the logs?
 
can you post journalctl -b -u pve-cluster?

possibly it was full on the 10th? can you try restarting pve-cluster (and check the logs again after that for any errors/warnings)?
