I have been using Proxmox VE for the past year and it has been working great. But suddenly my Ubuntu server VM, that runs all if my Docker services, stopped working after I tried to update one of the Docker images and the VM froze mid-download.
It stopped responding to shutdown and reboot commands from the Proxmox UI and I had to reboot the host machine to stop the VM, but after that the VM fails to boot.

During the boot process, it usually get stuck on "Job systemd-journal-flush.service/start running" and again I can't shutdown or reboot the VM. Sometimes it does boot for like 2 minutes and then freeze again before I can even do anything.

Checking the host machine, I can see that "LVM-Thin" and "LVM" disks are pretty much full which might cause the boot issue but I can't find anyway to resize them. From what I see, there is enough free storage space on my boot drive so I am not sure why it isn't being used.

The VM also seems to have enough free storage space, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Also, Proxmox shows io-error on the VM

Can someone please help me find why the VM won't boot anymore?
