question mark icon (?) on all VM/CT and storage

[sukarechhe]

I have observed, when my backup storage which is mounted using SMB/CIFS causing issue, when I remove it and restart pvestat service it back in normal state but in last 2-3 times, I even not able to delete mounted storage. My version is 8.3.0.

If anyone has encountered such issue, please let me know the steps I can follow instead of restarting the physical server (as at last option I have to restart physical machine only)

Thanks in advance.

Hello sukarechhe! Could you please check the journal around the time the issue occurs? Please use:

journalctl --since <TIME> --until <TIME> > journal.txt

Please check if you have any storage-related warnings or errors. You can attach the journal to this thread.

Hello @l.leahu-vladucu

Thank you for response.
Kindly review attached file, I have set duration on probability.

Thanks for the journal. Could you please also attach /etc/pve/storage.cfg ?

The journal does not contain any errors, but some SMART warnings related to disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, e.g.:

May 08 13:28:20 node smartd[1653]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 84 to 100
May 08 13:28:20 node smartd[1653]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], SMART Prefailure Attribute: 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate changed from 74 to 76

Could you please post the output of the following commands:

• smartctl -a /dev/sda
• smartctl -a /dev/sdb

What error do you get? Please post the task log and/or error when you try to delete it.

I'd recommend smartctl -A /dev/sdX (with some censoring if necessary) instead so the identity of the drives is visible too. This seems to be common with seagate drives as they show this differently.

Please find attached file. Unfortunately, I have rebooted server, otherwise I would have more to share for review.

There is zero error Thanks for response to this thread.

 

[l.leahu-vladucu]

Thanks for the logs. Since these are Seagate drives, I agree with @Impact:

The only other interesting happening in the logs is the start of the LXC container 1207. Could you please check its IP settings to ensure that there are no IP conflicts?

Crossed check with IP, there is no conflict. Disk checked with zero error, one another clue I found that mounted NAS storage was enabled with version 1 which I have forcefully set Minimum 2 and Maximum 3. let's keep this thread active for next few days and observe whether it was the issue or something else. I will post again once I get question marks again on VM and Storage. Thank you again everything for keeping this thread active
