Samba stops working after a couple days

Good night everybody,

I have been running OMV6 bare metal on an old laptop based on an i7-4710HQ with 16GB of RAM, everything works great for over 6 months.

Now I want to consolidate all my home network services on a Lenovo M720Q running proxmox.

I have installed OMV6 on a dedicated VM running on proxmox, with a single USB HDD for now, and it works fine for a couple days, then the indicator for the SMB/CIFS on the dashboard turns red and SMB stops working. Can't find anything on the logs that justifies why the service stops working.

Could someone help me understand why it fails overtime?

Best regards.

Sorry, I mixed things up.

Its running on a VM, what is running on an LXC is qbittorrent and pihole.

Could you re-open the post?

Good night,

Thanks for your time and patience with me.

You made me go and poke around in the settings, and the HDD is set to never sleep, and all power saving options are turned off, BUT I discovered that I can't ping anything outside my VM, and after poking around some more it seems like the VM is a bit broken, I used tteck helper scripts for Proxmox, but it seems like something went wrong during the install.

I will create a new VM from scratch and test things again, and I will keep an eye regarding power saving features from that specific HDD, since it makes some sense.

Best regards and thanks for your time.
