I'm using PVE5 on a backup server (no VM at all, i'm using PVE on this server only for ZFS)

I've disabled hardware watchdog, swappiness is set to 10, server has 16GB available and ZFS is set with primarycache=metadata

Anyway, this server every couple of days, suddenly reboots, no messages are wrote on syslog/messagelog/kern.log

Any software watchdog enabled in PVE ? What else should I check ?
AFAIK, even with low memory, Linux should not reboot. OOM killer should start and start to kill everything, but without a reboot.

It's the first time that a server of mine is automatically rebooting. usually, when reboot on panic is set, a reboot is made after a kernel panic, but a kernel panic is wrote on log.

Any hint?

if you have ha activated, the kernel software watchdog gets enabled

you could install systemd-coredump
the systemctl daemon-reload

and after a crash list the dumps with
coredumpctl list
 
How can I look for software watchdog?
I've looked at running modules and I haven't find anything related but I can be wrong

Coredump already enabled and no core created
 
do you have a ha enabled guest? if yes, the software watchdog will run
 
I don't have any VM running in this server.
I'm using Proxmox only for native ZFS support, i don't do any kind of virtualization here.
