Hello again! Ya’ll are my last hope for help! I’ve posted to both the proxmox forums and r/proxmox and nobody’s responding.
Here’s the deal, I built this home media server about a year ago. Took some time to work out the bugs, but I got TrueNAS Scale and Jellyfin on it and started filling it up. A few weeks ago TrueNAS started freezing up, but would work for a little while after a restart, but then it stopped working. I poked around and I found that there needed to be some sort of new EFI boot thing established. I followed it and it worked. A few days later, jellyfin freezes, I can’t access the pve GUI or anything, so I do a hard reset. Now proxmox can’t launch pve, let alone the GUI. So I’ve been poking around and found that the drives are at 100% usage, and inodes are at 100% usage (see pic, disk usage is the same % as the inode usage). Digging deeper, I try to find the offending folder in /rpool/ROOT/pve-1, but there are no deeper directories listed. So I drill down into the other pig one /subvol-100-disk-0; this lead me to find a jellyfin metadata library folder with a bunch of small files using up <250 inodes each. I’ve searched all over the place and haven’t been able to figure out what I could delete to at least get pve up and running, and work towards… idk, migrating it to a new larger drive? Or setting up something to automatically clear old files?
At any rate, I’m running 2 old 512gb laptop drives for all the OSs on the server. I have it in a ZFS mirror raid.
PS: Come to think of it, I’ve had to expand the size of the virtual drive for my jellyfin LXC multiple times now to get the container to actually launch. Seems I know just enough to get myself into trouble.
Someone, please help me rite my pirate ship!
It sounds like you are typing out the path by hand. You can auto complete paths using the tab key.
Also, you can go back and forwards in your terminal history using the up and down keys
I knew the second one, but not the first, thanks for the tip!!
