I need help to get my server working right, not sure what caused the issue.

I think is related to the steps I following when I was trying to make GPU Passthrough to a VM, I had trouble to make it work, so I tried to bind vfio-pci via device ID, then I was trying to load vfio-pci early using this tool mkinitcpio:

UPDATE:

The systemctl status degraded was fixed, the problem was that in /etc/hosts file, there was another IP address instead of the correct one, no sure how was updated, also I had no free disk space in proxmox, I was able to freed some space using these commands:


How to clean disk space
fstrim / -v

How to free space from journal logs
sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=3h
https://linuxhandbook.com/clear-systemd-journal-logs/


I was following this tutorial for GPU Passthrough:

PCI passthrough via OVMF - ArchWiki (archlinux.org)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

I was trying re-generate initramfs generator using mkinitcpio

Code: 
# mkinitcpio -P

More details on:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio

I had these errors when I executed that command:

Code: 
==> Building image from preset: mkinitcpio.d/example.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /tmp/initramfs-linux.img -U /efi/EFI/Linux/arch-linux.efi --microcode /boot/*-ucode.img
==> ERROR: Unable to write to path: `/efi/EFI/Linux/arch-linux.efi'
==> Building image from preset: mkinitcpio.d/example.preset: 'fallback'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /tmp/initramfs-linux-fallback.img -S autodetect -U /efi/EFI/Linux/arch-linux-fallback.efi --microcode /boot/*-ucode.img
==> ERROR: Unable to write to path: `/efi/EFI/Linux/arch-linux-fallback.efi'
==> Building image from preset: mkinitcpio.d/hook.preset: 'default'
functions: line 201: printf: `P': invalid format character
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-==> ERROR: specified kernel image does not exist: `/boot/vmlinuz-%PKGBASE%'
==> Building image from preset: mkinitcpio.d/hook.preset: 'fallback'
functions: line 201: printf: `P': invalid format character
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-==> ERROR: specified kernel image does not exist: `/boot/vmlinuz-%PKGBASE%'

After that I guess it messed up my proxmox server.

My server working fine even I installed a VM tried GPU passthrough and it was working, after I restarted my server, I cannot have web GUI working, I ssh the server and systemd status I get the following:

Code: 
root@pxserver:/# systemctl status -l
● pxserver
    State: degraded
     Jobs: 0 queued
   Failed: 9 units
    Since: Sun 2022-02-27 23:46:34 -04; 31min ago

Here are the failed units:

Code: 
root@pxserver:/# systemctl --failed
  UNIT                 LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● lightdm.service      loaded failed failed Light Display Manager
● man-db.service       loaded failed failed Daily man-db regeneration
● pve-cluster.service  loaded failed failed The Proxmox VE cluster filesystem
● pve-firewall.service loaded failed failed Proxmox VE firewall
● pve-guests.service   loaded failed failed PVE guests
● pve-ha-crm.service   loaded failed failed PVE Cluster HA Resource Manager Daemon
● pve-ha-lrm.service   loaded failed failed PVE Local HA Resource Manager Daemon
● pvescheduler.service loaded failed failed Proxmox VE scheduler
● pvestatd.service     loaded failed failed PVE Status Daemon
 
LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
9 loaded units listed.

When I run apt-update command it shows:

Please any help on how to repair my proxmox server without touching the pve-data lv will be appreciated. I don't want to lose my configurations and VMs.
