Hi,

I've recently activated backup on my system thru PBS for some CT/VM after upgrading from 7 to 8. For the last few days, I have a VM that stops at random time during backups (always same VM).
Here is the log output:

I've googled and searched this forum for the error on line #2 without luck.

Anybody has a clue?

Thanks!

Hi,
can you share a backup task log where it failed and the VM configuration?
 
Hi Fiona,

Here is attached the VM config.
Concerning the logs, this is what I have in /var/log/pve/tasks/:

Great! Thanks for the feedback.
In which production version should we seen the patch included?

If it gets reviewed and applied before the next bump, it will be in pve-qemu-kvm=8.0.2-6.
 
FYI, the package pve-qemu-kvm=8.0.2-6 with the fix is currently available on the pvetest repository. If you'd like to install the package, you can temporarily enable it, install and disable again (e.g. via the Repositories section in the UI).
 
Just installed pve-qemu-kvm=8.0.2-6 also. Let's hope our common boat gets better Cha0s.

Thanks again fiona!
 
Hi Fiona,

VM crashed again during a backup last night.

Afaik, you need to fully stop and start again or migrate the VM forth (and back again, if the target node is not already too on the updated version) after a QEMU/KVM update, so that the VM actually runs with the new version; otherwise it will still run on the old version with which it was initially started.

Did you do so with this VM?

Hum you're totally making sense. The VM was already running and I have just re-enabled backup after installing the new version but didn't stop / restart the VM.
I supposed that now it has crashed and has been restarted, it is running on the new version :)

yes. the normal way would be to do a live migration (onto a node with the update in place), since that also means a new process using the new binary is started ;)

The VM was already stopped, so I'm not sure what you mean by crash? Or did you resume it after the backup started?
