I'll log into the web interface and notice everything is greyed out like it's offline. Checking the status of pvestatd shows that it's dead, and restarting it brings everything in the web interface back online. All the VMs are still in working order, I just can't do anything on the web interface.

I've tried a couple things from ChatGPT to try and resolve this over the past few times.

Bash:
user@pve:~$ sudo journalctl -u pvestatd | grep SEGV

I ran pvestatd manually using the following:

Code:
nohup sudo pvestatd start --debug > /home/user/pvestatd.log 2>&1 &ls

It's been running for over 9 days no issue. Log file just shows BALLOON changes.

I guess I'll update to 9 and see if that changes anything.
