Hi,
First I thought that the pve no subscription channel has some kernel debugging enabled that filled my root device in less than two days of non continual usage, but even dmesg is listing some errors intead of the usual boot and peripheral information. My logs are bloated of repeated messages. dmesg returns a lot of ones similar to the following:
[34256.095328] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e0
[34256.095333] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, id=00e0(Receiver ID)

I am setting up this server for an unmanaged poc embedded on a train, which should be running before this weekend. When root partition filled, no vm, no container could start.

Could someone please help me debug this ?

P.S.: This is on a new optiplex 5050 with one intel onboard nic and one rtl8111 added nic.
TIA.
 
seems like a problem with a pci-device - look at the output of `lspci -v` and see which device is behind `0000:00:1c.0`
 
I was nearly certain that the problem comes from the second nic card, but lspc -v returned:

This desktop has had a sencond nic card and a 8Gb ram added by the resseller. What could be the reason ? I know this is probably not proxmox fault, so forgive me for asking this here.

Hi,
Finally we bought a new, branded, nic and replaced the one added by the reseller (rtl8169 chip on unbranded nic) and all the problems disappeared.
That was a hardware problem. I could not even suspect a certified dell reseller adding an unbranded nic on original dell desktop.
Thank you all.
 
Glad to hear your problem is resolved - Please mark the thread as solved, since this helps other users with similar problems!
 
On top of the thread next to the subject there should be the menu "Thread Tools" -> Edit thread -> set the Prefix to "Solved"
