Reboot without reason

Hi All,

During my absence, the proxmox server was rebooted with any reason.

I saw this in the journal :
Code: 
Oct 27 18:42:54 pve smartd[2089]: Device: /dev/sdh [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 22 to 23
-- Reboot --
Oct 27 18:56:34 pve kernel: Linux version 6.14.11-4-pve (build@proxmox) (gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.44) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.14.11-4 (2025-10-10T08:04Z) ()
Oct 27 18:56:34 pve kernel: Command line: initrd=\EFI\proxmox\6.14.11-4-pve\initrd.img-6.14.11-4-pve root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs intel_iommu=on iommu=pt

How can I investigate in order to identify the origin of the reboot ?

The server is on UPS and no alert (electricity was not cut).

Thanks for your help
 
Hi,
I saw this in grafana for the memory used :
Capture d’écran_2025-10-27_21-43-32.png

I am using since this weekend : Linux 6.14.11-4-pve (2025-10-10T08:04Z) as kernel (after update).

Is it a memory leak ?

thanks for your advice

Probably not. (Why do you think so?)

In the old days ZFS had default ARC size of 50%, that would fit. The newer limits (auto-configured by PVE during installation) are much lower, see https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_zfs_limit_memory_usage

Try harder to find hints regarding the crashes in the Journal. You only posted a single line before "Reboot" - that's not enough ;-)

If it happened during the previous boot you can look at the end of the relevant journal like this:

Code: 
journalctl -b -1  -p warning  -e

For a description of "-b" etc. consult man journalctl.

Additionally you may check all cables and connectors, run memtest86++ over night, check for BIOS/Firmware updates, ...
 
Thanks.
Here the results of the command :

Does # pvecm updatecerts can solve the error 'got inotify....' ?

Not sure that it is the origin of my reboot.

I am thinking to a memory leak as the grafana show a decrease of the memory.

I will investigate the error on ATA1.00

I will launch asap the memtest, look at bios also.
