I’m running Home Assistant on a virtual machine at a Proxmox host.
For some time now I’ve been observing a strange behavior: when I restarted the system, there was hardly any read io for a long time. Suddenly, always at the same time (04:00) on some random day, the system starts heavy reading activity from the disc constantly and doesn’t stop.
I can’t see what’s triggering it.
I have captured this phenomenon in the following diagram:
I had observed the problem for a while and had tried various things, but none of them helped. I couldn’t find the culprit either. It was too sporadic.
And then I didn’t care. At some point, I can’t say exactly when, it stopped showing up.
I’m assuming it was the April or May release.
Now HA has been running without problems for at least 2 months.
