Systemd-journald.service - HA cannot shutdown

Hello together!

I’m having troubles with my supervised HA installation with the systemd-journald service which is not able to be killed. This is not the first time I’m having this issue. Hard-reset of the system lead to a normal start of HA. Then a few day HA is working without problems. Afterwards the system hangs.

Pls see shell-output of the CLI interface

. As you can see I’m running Ha in a Virtualbox VM with Windows (11) host system (Mini-PC with SSD).

I tried to delete the journal folder with all logs with no success:

Running a df -h shows a usage of 69% which seems ok for me.

Someone a clue what’s going on here?

Whoop-whoop… :grimacing:

I have started having this issue as well, twice in the last few weeks
