Hi,

after the update form PVE 6 to 7 beginning this week we have daily hanging/ freezes VMs on our Proxmox node.
the VM can not be accessed via the console,shutdown or reboot is not working too.
the only way to fix this is a full server reboot which is bad ;)

I have found old threads with the 'query-proxmox-support' failed but not found a fix or workaround to apply.

the journal shows the flowing:

Is there anything in the syslog of the guest?
 
no way to check, the VM is fully frozen. ssh, serial and vnc are not working.
and after the reboot the last hours are lost do to a corrupted file system.
will open a ssh session with journalctl -f to write logs to local system, but not sure if this will help.
 
Hi,
the journalctl output has not shown any us full logs, only the typical crontab runs and pam_unix entrys.
we tried to move some OSDs of the node to reduce some load but no real change yet.
is there anything else we can test or info that may help?
 
Could you try adding the `aio=threads` parameter to the disks?
Seems there are some issues with io_uring which is the current default.
 
with
Code: 
aio=threads
set the host and VM are 99% stable,
we had only once a hanging VM which may is not related to this exact problem,
this where resolve by restating the one VM (no restart of the host needed).

Code: 
io_uring
sounds link good fit for VM to reduce overhead but may needs some more work in handling the workload of VMs.
 
Hi,

got the same problem. But I don't know where to put aio=threads?
Via GUI not possible?
nvm... but my VMs won't start :(

Please provide the output of pveversion -v as well as the VM config from a VM that does not start (qm config <VMID>).

Does the `Start` task finish, does it run into a timeout? Do you get an error?
You should be able to see the task status in the GUI on the bottom. If you double click a task, you should see the log of the task.

Could you provide the journal from 5 minutes before until after the start of a VM?
Use the command journalctl --since "2021-11-18 16:55:00" > journal.txt, modify the time to match ~5 minutes before the `start` task, and attach the resulting file here.
 
From what I see right now is, that the SCSI controller is corrupted on all machines.

The "Start" task finishes fine. No errors to see in GUI.
The problem is, that my VMs won't boot up. They freeze during startup. If I set up another controller, they will be "stable" but won't boot into system - on my linux VMs clearly because they won't find the root partition.

Could you reboot and check again? This time please provide the complete log of the boot (journalctl -b > journal.txt)
 
Ok... now it is not possible anymore to get on it via ssh... Right now I have to deal with that. networking.service is marked as active (exited). And a reboot is resulting in timeout from watchdog and rebooting.
 
So after a bit of time I wasn't able to get network working... I'm very clueless right now. I will screenshot the bootlog and attach it.
EDIT: the workaround with hardcoded MAC works very well. At least I can continue my research right now and I'm able to ssh into it again :D

journal attached.

My VMs are freezing. I don't get it. No errors shown. I experimented a bit with hardware settings for vm's but no luck at all. Is there a logfile / log folder for vm's?
 
Same for me. When I reduce the number of vCPU's to 1 (it were 3), then the VM does not freeze anymore and runs. I would like to believe it's the new kernel, but I don't know how to test the previous/latest 7.0 supplied kernel (5.11?)
