HA crashes repeatedly due to some host issue (I think), need some help debugging | Home Assistant | Page 1

Yesterday night I noticed my HAOS server was down, weird. I hadn't used it or done any changes. Browser didn't load, observer didn't load. Ping worked, host was ON. Plugged HDMI, and there were tons of errors.

Left it for this morning, rebooted host, it happened again. After a 2nd reboot, it booted fine and HA was accessible. It has worked for 1h or so, and now I've noticed plenty errors again. It's still accessible, but lots of things not working. Seems like a host level issue, but I can't decipher the logs.

prime epoch What hardware is this?

one sec, rebooting so I can get the details.

MiniPC with like N100 or similar. 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and then an additional SSD 2TB used for media, automounted on boot via udev rule.

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 8:37 AM

This looks like a dying/dead SSD or filesystem corruption at the minimum.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 8:38 AM

it has 1.5 years

I'd recommend a re-flash and restore. You might need to replace the disk. You can try if ha os datadisk wipe works for a factory reset.
But before that we could look at which disk this even is.
Enter login at the CLI and trun this

Yep. Looks like it's the main OS/boot drive. Well the logs state sdb but you can check again. Try something like this

If you didn't move any physical connection it's likely the SSD dying. The 256GB SSD model sounds pretty no name.

is there any checks I can do before going to buy a new SSD in a rush?

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 8:56 AM

#

As said, I'd recommend you try the factory reset first. HAOS is a bit too bare bones to do many diagnostic things. At least not in this state. You'd need smartctl.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 8:56 AM

factory reset, and restore backup then?

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 8:56 AM

You need to use the Advanced Addon with disabled protection mode and I doubt that will work in your case though: #1435280112684896427 message

Yeah.

You can also try to force a file system check but this looks like more than corruption: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/3dbd7e0ddaf47c5539708a9cbcaab9e3#temporary-kernel-arguments

Depends what your MiniPC supports. Maybe you can take a picture of the M.2 socket. I don't really have a problem with cheap SSDs for this use case if the price is right.
The main reason I'm not a fan of SATA M.2s is that they can only be used for very specific machines, they are niche and thus there's fewer options and higher prices. The drive has been running for at least 2.5 years, not 1.5. Other than that I don't see much.

yeah, it might be. I think we my initial miniPC died, I kept the SSD and kept using that one instead of the one that came with the new one. I sold the new one. So this might be using it as long as I have HA.

Alright so right now I'd recommend these steps in order until something is solved

The fsck.mode=force boot arg
ha os datadisk wipe and restore

mind explaining how to do fsck.mode=force ? I'm not familiar with that

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:26 AM

#

Hmm. So a NVMe should fit there but I can't tell 100% if the slot supports that. I was hoping for some silkscreen markings on the PCB.

#

During boot there is a slot A/B selection. If you press e there you can change the kernel args.

#

Give me a second I'll show you.

#

Press e here.

#

Looks like this then

#

Now add your kernel args. Without the typo, of course

#

Then press F10 or CTRL+X as it says at the bottom.

#

But to be clear. I do not expect a fsck to help here.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:33 AM

#

prime epoch During boot there is a slot A/B selection. If you press `e` there you can change...

hmm. I did, it showed a "Booting a command list" message, stayed there as frozen, and after a while it showed the command edit page again

#

trying again now

#

it has to be slot B, right? I just pressed e and it got into slot B, but I did not choose it myself

#

same thing happened

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:34 AM

#

It's just what was selected for me. You can try another one too.

#

If you also add debug you might get more information. I.e otherargshere... fsck.mode=force debug.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:35 AM

#

trying that in slot A now, but so far the same

#

even with debug

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:35 AM

I guess it's ubuntu live booting and re-flash time then.

#

Well, or the ha os datadisk wipe first.

just error: disk "hd1,gpt2" not found

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:40 AM

Weird. Maybe you pressed e too often and inserted it into the boot config or something? Just adding some args like this shouldn't cause this.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:41 AM

#

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:41 AM

#

Looks correct to me 🤷

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:43 AM

#

anyway, if you say it has little chance to work, let's move onto the wipe step

#

let me try and get the last local backup

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:43 AM

#

Also about that NVMe support. I guess we could look at lspci | grep -Ei "sata|nvme". If there's a NVMe mention you can likely use a NVMe too.

#

Ideally you have your backups off-device. Your backup should be usable even if the device explodes. I store mine on my NAS but my HA is also running on proxmox VE so I also have backups of the whole system.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:46 AM

#

yeah, I should have in the cloud too

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:46 AM

#

Might be an idea for you too. Run HAOS in a VM if you re-install anyways?

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:46 AM

#

but it's easier if I can grab the local copy

#

I tried proxmox last year, but it's just not for me. Too much overhead in terms of complexity, for no gain for me

#

I remember we had a discussion about it

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:49 AM

#

It certainly has a high ceiling but just for a basic HAOS VM you don't need to learn too much and have the snapshots and backups. Probably not enough of an incentive. I remember your picture but my memory is not good enough to remember all my discussions in detail. I have a lot and they tend to be very similar so it becomes kind of a slurry in my mind.

Hmm so the erofs error is not so good. ro stands for read only so this is not just writes.

#

Some errors can be printed to the screen directly. You can change that via dmesg -n.

#

Next steps then. Wipe time.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 10:26 AM

ok

can you remind me the commands and from where to run them? I got the backup ready

Run the wipe one via keyboard and monitor. IIRC it is guarded to not work via the addon. At least not directly.

the wipe won't touch my large SSD, right?

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 10:34 AM

#

Good question. Under normal (supported) circumstances it should not. But under normal circumstances the second SSD would be the data disk so this is a bit confusing. Let me check something first.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 10:34 AM

I already started it xD

#

I have backups anyway

we'll see

Wipe should only wipe specific partitions by label.

#

Technically it's more of a overwrite than a wipe but eh.

#

Your external disk has the STORAGE label so it shouldn't touch it but 🤷

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 10:36 AM

#

well, not sure if the wipe completed, but it went straight into the error chain

#

erofs

#

lots of them

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 10:37 AM

You likely have to flash via ubuntu then. Shouldn't be too hard.

uhmmm I might be more fucked. The SSD is not even showing in ubuntu

#

any way I can "refresh" them? Or just reboot and launch again and cross fingers?

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 11:32 AM

#

That's nigh unreadable mate.

#

Run this in the CLI.

sudo lsblk -o+FSTYPE,LABEL,MODEL

#

Sorry for the delay, by the way.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 11:33 AM

#

what cli, it's wiped now xD Not sure it can boot at all

sorry, it's the banding of the TV

In the ubuntu terminal.

nope, it doesn't show either

#

just a bunch of loops, the USB drive, and the 2TB SSD

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 11:36 AM

#

Hmm that's not good. Power it off and see if it's seated properly. Then try again.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 11:49 AM

prime epoch Hmm that's not good. Power it off and see if it's seated properly. Then try agai...

I think it's properly dead now. It shows the boot logo for a long while without dooing anything, I can't seem to get to the boot menu (I dn't remember the key), and after a while it says "Detecting media", "Media detected" and shows a MAC, I think it's trying to boot from network, which means it doesn't find anything to boot of

#

the wipe destroyed the drive it seems xD

#

oh now I got into UEFI

#

it just took like 4min

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 11:51 AM

#

I usually disable PXE boot. The UEFI does not see it either?

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 11:52 AM

nope

#

I disconnected and connected it again just in case

#

:S

#

what a way to die

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 11:58 AM

prime epoch I usually disable PXE boot. The UEFI does not see it either?

never seen an option to disable the network boots

#

I find it very strange that it sits into the boot logo for so long now

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 11:59 AM

#

Every UEFI is a bit different. I disable that logo and fast boot too. I want to see all.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 12:20 PM

yeah, I haven't seen an option too

#

but no, after 2 boots, it won't detect the drive :S

the USB gets detected fine

prime epoch No name and `Frequently returned item`. At least it's TLC.

that's just probably because people buy it thinking it's nvme and it's not

#

what's TLC?

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 12:33 PM

#

You might need a translator but here's some: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=hdssd&xf=7138_191196.582*61439982.797~7525_M.2 (SATA)&pagesize=30&sort=p&promode=false&hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk
It's the type of flash. TLC is okay and the default nowadays. Stay away from QLC or non mentioned ones.

#

But yeah if you buy on amazon you likely have safety of it does within 2 years. I can't find many in this budged range.

@prime epoch new drive received. Flashed, backup restored and working.

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:14 PM

#

Yay.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:15 PM

#

prime epoch Yay.

hmm do you know if it might be that my udev rule went to shit?

#

or should the backup have resored it too?

#

just saying as there's nothing in the large drive mapped folder

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:16 PM

#

Not everything is backed up. Especially OS tweaks.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:16 PM

#

yeah, makes sense

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:16 PM

#

I think I read that there's work on that though.

carmine wraith May 5, 2026, 9:16 PM

ughh I'll have to jog my memory hard. That was well outside my comfort zone

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:17 PM

#

Might have just been about network configs. I don't full remember.

prime epoch May 5, 2026, 9:35 PM

#

The udev docs are sparse but see here: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/configuration
Also remember that after a restore a full reboot is often needed to get things in sync.

is it expectd that I lost access via port 22222 as well?

prime epoch May 6, 2026, 8:24 AM

#

It's a OS side tweak too.

prime epoch May 6, 2026, 8:53 AM

#

You can put all your tweaks on a USB stick as per docs and they will just be reapplied automatically.

carmine wraith May 6, 2026, 9:06 AM

ough, is there no way for backups to keep your local addons? I just realized I lost them 🙂

there's no "addons" folder in the backup settings
