HAOS fails to start due to full HDD. Trying to clear up space via emergency console. | Home Assistant | Page 1

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

So I believe my issue is that the HDD HAOS is installed on is 100% full and that's preventing it from starting as I'm get this string of "I/O buffer" errors before it dumps me to the emergency console. HA runs on a VE in Proxmox if that is relevant. I don't know what caused it to completely fill and I naively gave it all the space available on my Proxmox machine so there is nowhere to expand the drive to which means I need to somehow reach into the VE from Proxmox or via the emergency console and delete (hopefully) some unnecessary stuff to give it enough space to sucessfully boot but I haven't found actionable specifics on how to do that.

What can I do from the emergency console to clear out some of this space?

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:17 AM

Please share df -hT. Do you have PVE backups/snapshots?

#

I'd also like to see lvs -a, lsblk -o+FSTYPE,MODEL, and qm config VMIDHERE from the PVE side.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

vestal sundial Please share `df -hT`. Do you have PVE backups/snapshots?

backups were through HA itself in this instance 🥲

#

#

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

HAOS is not the issue here. Or at least it's not full.

#

Your comically small data thin pool is full though.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

This is what the HA console slowly prints before it eventually dumps to emergency console

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

Can I see qm config 101 too?

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:32 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

Try docker system prune -af and then fstrim -av in the HAOS console. Then check lvs on the node again and see if Data% has gone down.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:33 AM

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:34 AM

Why is your disk only 32G? It seems to be a USB stick too.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

thinclient Dell Wyse. Just a small SSD

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

Alright so we can't do anything in the VM for now. Shut it down and we work on the node. Show me pvs.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:35 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

Welp. There's no unallocated space to increase the data pool. There's usually a few gigs but not in this case.

#

Those backups you mentioned. Did you put them somewhere other than the VM's local storage?

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:38 AM

#

It's the backup within HA afaik. I've never had to check so beyond having the good guess that I did have it make one (or more) backups at some point, I don't know.

#

no snapshots in PVE, though I did recently set that up for my personal HA instance here at home. This is my parents setup I'm responsible for fixing atm 😛

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

Not a good idea to put backups on the machine you back up. The issue is that without some free space it's hard to do anything. We can try to mount the HAOS data disk on the node and move those backups somewhere else but I can't walk you through that from mobile.

#

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:41 AM

#

I don't know if at any point HA asked me to point to a specific location to store the backups it wanted to make before doing system updates. I was imagining reverting in the case of breaking changes, not in the case that the entire system kicks the bucket

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:42 AM

#

I might have an idea. We could delete the swap LV.

#

You can later set up a swap file if needed.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:46 AM

#

vestal sundial Your comically small `data` thin pool is full though.

Is this the root issue then, you think? HA was installed via a userscript and I don't recollect making a decision to choose anything that small.

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:46 AM

#

What does free -h look like?

#

No, the PVE installer chooses certain sizes. With a 32G disk there's not a lot of choice to split it up.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:47 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:48 AM

#

Alright. Run these

swapoff -a
lvremove pve/swap
lvresize -r -l +95%FREE pve/data

Check with lvs afterwards. Also remove the SWAP entry in /etc/fstab via nano /etc/fstab.

#

The 5% unallocated is exactly for cases like this.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:50 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:51 AM

#

That looks better. Now start the VM again and see if it works.

#

If it does use this to investigate what uses space inside: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/fb086b391f7d14cb3515144fcbe4785e
Please set the backups up so they are NOT only stored inside the VM.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 1:55 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 1:55 AM

#

Also note that you cannot rely on the size shown inside the VM as you really only have about 14G.

#

Cases like these can cause corruption inside the guest. You could try to enter e on the boot selection screen and force a fsck.

#

It not we can try to mount the partition on the node, grab the backup and recreate the whole virtual disk of the VM. Essentially reinstalling it.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:05 AM

#

stick fsck.mode=force somewhere in here?

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

Yes just put it at the end of the last argument but use the normal boot option.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:08 AM

#

That seems to send me through a partial boot and then kicks me back to the grub boot options

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:09 AM

#

Show me what you configured.

#

You can also attach and boot a lightweight live iso such as grml to the VM and do the fsck from there.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:10 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:11 AM

#

It has to be on the linux line after the last argument.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:12 AM

#

same effect. I could only perceive one red error as the boot details flew past but it moves too quick to read it

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:12 AM

#

I wanted to check again before you let it rip.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:13 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:14 AM

#

That should work. You could try slot B I guess.

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:15 AM

#

Can't think of something but you could record the screen?

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:16 AM

#

recently found the perfect tool to do just that! Let's try it out.

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:19 AM

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:22 AM

#

I expected some logs there but oh well. Let's see journalctl -ru docker then

#

My recommendation is probably still to extract the backup and recreate the virtual disk with a fresh HAOS.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:23 AM

So for reference, what actually went wrong and how do I avoid that in the future (outisde of keeping a snapshot in PVE)

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

You know about these fake USB sticks? Your VM is basically having a 32G one while the real size was 10G.

#

Stop the VM and follow the kpartx way I linked earlier. The VM appears to be too broken.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

Good grief, how did I get it into that state?

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

With LVM-Thin you can over provision. It's a nice feature but it should never become full and you shoudln't allocate more to one guest than you have in total.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

I managed to provision it the entire SSD instead of what the actual free space was, then?

#

I...wonder if I did the same on my instance.

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

Yeah the HAOS disk is 32G.

#

To be fair I haven't seen it cause that much breakage before. Usually it's fine after what we did and a fresh boot.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

Should that issue be self evident by what I see for LVM and LVM-thin in the GUI?

#

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

No.

#

For LVM-Thin this shows what the storage Summary shows too.

#

For LVM it's full because the space is allocated to the three LVs you saw in lvs and this is fine.

#

Then there's also this: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/3dbd7e0ddaf47c5539708a9cbcaab9e3#discard

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

I'm assuming LVM-thin, space is provisioned on an as-needed basis instead of "locking in" a chunk of space regardless of whether it's filled or not?

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

In theory yes but it requires participation from the guest to free unused but allocated "buffer".

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:48 AM

#

Storage is so cheap these days, It probably only makes sense if you have a lot of guests and a rather variable storage requirement for them? Otherwise I could have avoided this mishap by not using LMV thin?

vestal sundial Sep 11, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

LVM-Thin is needed for snapshots too.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 2:51 AM

Is there something I can do to warn me in the future "Hey, it's getting pretty full in here. Maybe don't download ESPHome Device Assistant" 😛

Something is still manually misconfigured after bringing it back to my place and putting it on my network? The router sees it and I'm not whitelisting anything for internet connectivity.

Try this via keyboard and monitor: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/3dbd7e0ddaf47c5539708a9cbcaab9e3#temporary-dhcp

I'm guessing your subnet or router ip is different.

languid hemlock Sep 11, 2025, 11:30 PM

yeah that sorted it. Back when I first brought it over Google told me to edit the interfaces file to change the IP so I could actually access it via the LAN. I guess that was only half the battle

unxz -v -T0 haos_ova-16.2.qcow2.xz

Go into Hardware and detach the disk1 and delete the now unused disk. Then run this

qm disk import 101 haos_ova-16.2.qcow2 local-lvm

Double click the new unused disk in Hardware and attach it. Enable discard and IO Thread and SSD. Then go to Options > Boot Order and add it at the top. You should now be able to start it again and it will be a fresh HAOS. Do a snapshot now (without RAM) and then restore the backup you downloaded. After restore reboot the VM. Then we fix the network.

Hmm. That looks okay though. Perhaps there was a ip conflict. .27 is pretty low.

#

Do you know the DHCP range of your router and the one at your parents' house?

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

parents' house, no. Here it's .2-.254

#

HA says it's on .57

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

That's too large IMHO. You need some free for static ips.

#

Can you give PVE a static DHCP lease?

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

I have a number of statics set within that range. Does that mean I'm stepping on DHCPs toes?

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

Absolutely. Unless you have static DHCP leases for that you will run into conflicts.

#

PVE does not normally use DHCP but it prevents the router from giving its ip to something else.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

well, nothing's complained in the years its been running that I can remember 🤞

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

That you noticed 😄

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

If I haven't noticed, then it wasn't important 🙃

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:34 AM

#

Anyways. Can you reserve it?

#

Or perhaps shrink the DHCP range to a max of 50-200 or so.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:34 AM

#

you mean assign a static IP for PVE?

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:34 AM

#

In the router. Yes.

#

I specifically call it a DHCP lease as the static ip is set on PVE and the lease in the router.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

it's on .27 so I just gave it a static assignment to .27 in the router

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:36 AM

#

Alright. Reverse the temporary DHCP ip again as per my docs and then see if HA works.

#

By the way if you try the DHCP thingy again you should now get .27 if done right.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

oh. "when done" means when I want to disabled DHCP huh

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

Yep.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:38 AM

#

I took it as "when the previous line finishes" 😛

#

so...it should already be off

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:39 AM

Hmm. What does ip a say?

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:41 AM

Looks okay to me.

#

You can check ha network info in the HAOS CLI.

#

By the way this looks better if you use tree backticks for multi-line code.

languid hemlock I can't get to the CLI and I can't stop the VM either

I need elabopration.

#

You reloaded the web interface on the new ip, yeah?

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:46 AM

#

#

yeah

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:47 AM

#

I can only guess it was caused because the old unused disk was not removed before starting the setup and it temporarily ran into 100% again.

#

Can you hover over the warning icon and also check node > System Log?

#

You really need a bigger SSD.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:49 AM

#

I believe that was the SCSI warning from earlier

#

Sep 11 15:18:42 proxmox dmeventd[321]: WARNING: Thin pool pve-data-tpool data is now 100.00% full. 👀

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:50 AM

#

Oh well. I documented to remove it 😄

#

Try to stop the VM and start it again.

#

If it's broken again you now know how to replace the disk with a fresh HAOS.

#

Or just restore the snapshot.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:54 AM

#

The snapshot I was trying to take after I started the system with the old drive still hanging around that caused the current 100% disk use? 😛

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:55 AM

#

Snapshots only store a delta of before and after.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 12:56 AM

#

I don't have a snapshot because we didn't get to it after I asked if I should let HA finish preparing

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 12:56 AM

#

It contributes but the old disk was the bigger issue. Can't you buy a used SSD from eBay for the guests?

#

Ah.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:03 AM

#

Yeah I think I'm just going to order a larger SSD and start from scratch on that. Plop in a copy of the SSD I stuck in my thinclient so I know it's compatible.

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:04 AM

#

No need. You can just use it as additional storage.

#

This should still work for now.

#

Pretty much all my nodes have their own separate boot disk and another one for guests.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

vestal sundial Now unmount the file system and delete the mappings again ```bash umount /mnt/ha...

start over from here, then?

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

Just from the Then we can grab the HAOS image and extract it step.

#

Make sure there is no unused disk and you removed the HAOS iamge before starting HAOS. YO uneed enough free space.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

yeah lol

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

Check with lvs before starting.

#

The idea of the snapshot was so you don't have to do this again.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

Is restore a prompt that will show up in the webui?

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

It's called Rollback in the Snapshots tab..

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

the HA backup we downloaded? the webui answered my question by popping up the option so it's currently restoring 😛

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

I thought you were talking about the PVE snapshot. Onboarding has options to upload the HA backup, yep.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

Oh, were you planning to restore with the .tar via the console?

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

No. I made you donwload the file so you can upload it via the GUI.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

which then didn't want my .zip 😛

#

so I gave it the .tar

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

The zip is not a HA created backup.

#

It's just the config directory we zipped up in case you need the current configs since the HA backup is over a week old..

#

You'd need to restore those files manually.

Make sure to reboot the VM after restore or things can get funky.

#

I recommend not keeping the snapshot around too long. Remember. Deltas.
I use this to create and then cycle mine every 3 days: https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-autosnap

I'll mark this as resolved then.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:28 AM

appreciate this lengthy effort to get HA working again

#

When I get some external storage I should be able to just push the whole VM over to it?

Yep.

languid hemlock Sep 12, 2025, 1:29 AM

vestal sundial Sep 12, 2025, 1:29 AM

You kinda have to ignore this for now. The autoextend would not be a good idea.
