Dear Proxmox Community and Team,

I’d like to preface this issue by mentioning I have been using PVE for a while now and am thoroughly impressed with the quality of software and amount of flexibility it provides in comparison with other closed-source solutions.

Recently, my PVE node crashed all VMs and threw an error in console over HDMI:

systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: start operation timed out. Terminating.
systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: State ‘stop-sigterm’ timed out. Killing

I assumed this was just an unusual crash, so I pressed the power button to shut the PVE host down and got these errors:

filemap_fault
_do_fault
exc_page fault

I then decided to use the force reboot button on the chassis.

This time round I noticed it booted but was complaining about these errors:

I then checked the zpool health, and got this:

I’m not sure what the vm-100-state-dnsbl file links to (dnsbl = dns blocklist?) or if it’s safe to delete and allow PVE to regenerate it.

I’ve tried restoring from snapshots to no avail, and also VM100 has 2 NICs passed through to it, and there’s never been issues with it complaining about vfio_bar_restore.

Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for your time! I’m open to any questions or pointers you guys have.
