Hopefully this is the right area.
Two days ago, all of the nodes on my z-wave network went dead. I attempted multiple things to fix, but I was unable to exclude devices, include new ones etc. I ended up factory resetting my Zooz ZST10, that did not fix the issue, nor did factory resetting devices.

I tried creating a new KVM HAOS install on the same host system, same issue with Z-Wave, unable to include any new devices.

Today I created a HAOS VM on Virtualbox on a OSX Host, and was able to get all my z-wave devices working again. So, I figured I would plug the z-wave dongle back into the normal machine, and restart the vm. Immediately in the logs I saw that it was unable to see any of my Z-Wave devices and declared them dead.

I'm at a bit of a loss, original machine is a Linux Mint box that has been running the HAOS in Virtual Machine Manager for ~5 years now. No resent os updates, Home Assistant version and Z-Wave JS add-on are the same between it and the Virtualbox VM on OSX.

Here is the output of lsusb on the Linux Host:
Bus 005 Device 041: ID 0658:0200 Sigma Designs, Inc. Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 (ZW090) - UZB

Here is the usb device xml from virtual machine manager:
<hostdev mode="subsystem" type="usb" managed="yes">
<source>
<vendor id="0x0658"/>
<product id="0x0200"/>
<address bus="5" device="41"/>
</source>
<alias name="hostdev0"/>
<address type="usb" bus="0" port="4"/>
</hostdev>

Solved.
It was an external hard drive dock with a drive connected. Guess it was causing interference. Had been plugged in for about a week before the issues started, but disconnecting, and then restarting home assistant had nodes coming back online immediately
