Hi!, I am not really sure it's data corruption but it just seems like it. So, I have 2 vms that have separate GPUs assigned to them. When I start both of them, the one vm freezes for a bit and then it starts working again, but after I turn off the pc and boot it up again I get fsck on the screen fixing the filesystem (it can also fail and I have to do the check manually) and then my windows vm starts instantly doing a disk check and now some windows system files are missing (for example file explorer, I can't open control panel, etc).

I had this problem some months ago as well and it got to a point when fsck took like 40 mins and when it finished the windows vm got destroyed, it bluescreened and I couldn't revive it in any way, I couldn't even access the files while being in windows recovery. But the Linux vm was untouched. So I reinstalled the windows vm and I continued to use only the windows one because I didn't have the time to deal with it. Now I tried to boot both up and the same thing happened.

I will post the configs for both vms and for the main pc with proxmox down below, I am not sure why this happens, because i didn't change the configurations for months before this problem appeared, and I used to have both vms on at all times back then. I am considering reinstalling the whole proxmox pc with a separated lvm pool just for the windows vm instead of having one big pool for both.


Config for the windows vm:

Config for the Linux vm:

LVM config for the Pc proxmox machine:

And these are the specs of the pc:
