Proxmox host stops responding, LXC continues (infosec.pub)

I'm running Proxmox 9 on a server with currently a single LXC running. On no apparent time schedule, within a day but frequently within an hour, the host will stop responding to SSH, pings and the web UI stops updating. However, the LXC continues to run happily. The only way to bring the host back up is to power cycle the server.

Has anyone got any troubleshooting tips?

I wonder if it is the same issue. I installed on an emmc module which isn't recommended by Proxmox but I thought I'd get away with it. I might try reinstalling to another drive and see if it still happens.

Huh. Maybe it is related then. For what it's worth I ended up moving to a real drive, still solid state, a while ago and it's been working fine ever since.
