For unknown reason I was not able to access Proxmox web portal anymore, underlying VM's worked fine and were reachable from the network.
Also SSH to host system and running command like top etc did not indicate any error.

As easiest solution, I thought a reboot is needed to get the web interface back, so I did run
Code:
reboot
on command line, but nothing happend.
after 5 minutes system was still reachable by SSH, logon to console worked but reboot not executed.

As a last solution a hard power shutdown was made, after that I am unable anymore to start Proxmox and the following error occurs on the screen which indicates some bad sectors or issue on my hard drive (I run as BTFRS with 1 SSD disk.

After some hours of google and this forum looking for a solution I was not able to find any point into an helpful direction.
I would like to understand if they are any possibility (and how) to have this issue restore by looking at the sectors etc to boot into the machine again.

Disk setup was based on BTFRS file system on an Samsung EVO Pro 2TB disk, any help/pointer into an direction would be very appreciated !

Thank you,

Looks like the drive is broken. I believe there is some Samsung software that can diagnose the drive when you put it in a Windows PC. It is a Samsung 980 Pro with the firmware problem?
thank you sharing ! this looks indeed going into the direction but would mean a complete hard drive fail.
Question will remain if there is a possibility to restore the bad sector again to allow proxmox mounting the btfrs file system or at least get some data from it like the vm/lxc config and related virtual disks
