December 29, 20241 yr Hello! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to everyone! I recently overcame a power issue with my HDDs. I took the opportunity to change out my cache drives and move from btrfs to zfs. Everything moved correctly, except my VMs disappeared. I thought this wasn't a big issue since the vdisks were still there and proceeded to set it up. However, I noticed that a server I had running on one of the VMs was having issues with connections. It would occasionally lose it's connection with MariaDB (docker container). I thought it was the server application issue so I tried copying the latest installer (1.8g) to the VM, but it kept failing with a broken pipe error. I then tried downloading the Ubuntu ISO and it would consistently get a connection reset error. I thought this was strange and I tried a few things - Creating a fresh VM and downloading the Ubuntu ISO (ElementaryOS seemed to work but ZorinOS didn't work) - Running ping and mtr to check for packet loss - Bypassing Adguard home DNS - Deleting the libvirt.img file and letting it recreate itself again Nothing seemed to fix the issue. Everything else (networking wise) is working on the server. Just the VMs for some strange reason. sarva-diagnostics-20241228-2312.zip Edited January 3, 20251 yr by S0ulDrag0n
December 31, 20241 yr Author Just to update this topic. I think I found the issue, but I don't know the cause. It would appear my disks are operating strangely. When copying a 6GB ISO from one disk to another in the array, the speed would start at 250mb/s, then drop to 10mb/s, then increase back up to 250mb/s. This is strange as before it would maintain a consistant transfer speed. This is likely why occasionally plex streams will have low bitrate and perhaps the cause of why the VMs are unstable. When I run the live CD version in a VM, the downloads behave perfectly fine. Once I install it to a vdisk, then I get these errors. Could someone help troubleshoot this? I have attached the diagnostics taken during a file transfer for reference. sarva-diagnostics-20241231-1250.zip Edited December 31, 20241 yr by S0ulDrag0n
January 2, 20251 yr Author Getting lost packets when pinging another server on the network: This doesn't happen outside of the VM. Edited January 2, 20251 yr by S0ulDrag0n
January 3, 20251 yr Author Solution Found the issue. Somehow, another device stole the ip of the server.
