Home Assistant Core won’t update. (2024.11.1 → 2024.11.3) .2 wouldn’t update either but that has now been replaced with .3
Home Assistant will not shutdown gracefully. It gets stuck trying to stop/kill the journald.server.
systemd[1]: systemd- journald.service: Killing process 204791 (systemd- journal) with signal SIGKILL. After letting it do that for hours I have to power off the system.
After restarting I am getting the following message on the console screen. It just keeps repeating every few seconds.
systemd- journald[105]: Failed to send WATCHDOG=1 notification message: Transport endpoint is not connected.
Tried doing the update again and the supervisor log is showing:
ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.core] Home Assistant has crashed!
CRITICAL (MainThread) [supervisor.homeassistant.core] update failed → rollback!
Not much to go after, but my guess is a crashed SDcard.
This is just based on experience with crash medias, which mostly affect writing, but often allow reading.
It fits with not being able to update HA core, not being able to stop the journald server, because that is actually the log file system that needs to then write the logs files to the media and the journald system not starting up correctly, because it needs to rename the previous log file and create a new one.
I have it running at the moment and I will see if things go south again overnight. I made changes to configuration.yaml and automations.yaml without encountering any issues. I am still unable to do the updates but the “Failed to send WATCHDOG=1” error hasn’t returned since the last startup.
Ran dmesg and didn’t see anything unusual. Should have mentioned that I am running HA OS VM in Virtualbox.
The system didn’t crash overnight and automations and devices are sill working but I am still unable to update anything (I now have a number of updates pending).
