Recorder warns sqlite3 was not shutdown cleanly, despite controlled shutdown

The problem

Recently, I often but not always get a warning that the Recorder’s default sqlite3 DB was not shutdown cleanly. This is despite performing a controlled shutdown via the UI on the Hardware settings page.

Currently running 2022.6.x and HAOS 8.1. This issue started within the past month or so. Hard for me to pinpoint if it’s correlated with HAOS 8.x or the Core version.

I have a feeling this issue will need to be moved to the HAOS repo, but the direct problem that is logged is from Recorder.

I have run HAOS in a VM for a few years (OVA image running within KVM on Proxmox). I always shut it down from within the HAOS guest via the UI.

I am sure there are more diagnostics I can help pull, I am not sure where to start.

Thank you teams!

Thanks for the info @pvizeli! The issue remains in the 2022.7.x series and on HAOS 8.2.

In my experience it’s very consistent – IIRC anytime I’ve done a controlled shutdown via the UI, the sqlite warning shows up in the logs.

Maybe sometimes the shutdown does not finish ongoing events? During my test I had this:
