Very frustrated with Proxmox

[jeremy450]

H there
I'm running Proxmox on a Intel nuc i7

I've had issue after issue with proxmox.
its manly the web UI where it wll run for a few hours or a day or so and then have to reboot it to get the UI to work agan

i tried restart the proxy, etc but they throw errors and wont start.
And sometimes the whole OS goes crazy and wont accept commands through SSH and have to force restart the computer

i've done 4 reinstalls 3 of 7.1 and 1 of 6.4

Any ideas what could be causing this?
regards

You could try to use the optional 5.15 kernel in case thats a newer NUC so the hardware will be better supported: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/opt-in-linux-kernel-5-15-for-proxmox-ve-7-x-available.100936/
And you could check that your hardware is running fine. For that you could check your SMART stats, syslog, run memtest86+ over night, check that you don't run out of RAM and so on.

did you take a look at your journal or syslog file? please check those and post the error messages here.

that sounds like you might be out of space on your disk, or the filesystem might be corrupted somehow.

please check the outputs of:

df -h
fdisk -l

find the partition where your / is mounted and try doing a fsck /dev/yourpartition to check for fs errors

df -h

seems like you're not out of space

-bash-5.0# fdisk -l
-bash: /usr/sbin/fdisk: Input/output error

but probably your filesystem is corrupted.
ideally you would take your node offline and boot a recovery ISO to make backups of everything that you can, and attempt to fix the filesystem errors

Your HDD or SSD /dev/sda is failing, you should replace it

very strange when ts new

Would also by my guess, especially if you already installed PVE that often again and it always currupts the filesystem again and again.

 

[danielb]

You can also check/replace the SATA cable. A bad one could also explain this kind of errors. In any case, it's most likely a hardware problem.

Just reinstalled another new drive so see what happens now
