Backup progress running but without real backup

[wahmed]

I started manual backup on a VM. After seeing backup progress only 2% after over half an hour i decided to stop the backup. Even after trying several time backup did not stop, so i forcefully restarted the VM. It restarted just fine and all working ok in the vm, but Proxmox still showing backup is running, which it is not. Why can i stop this progress bar on GUI?

Syslog putting out this message:
pvestatd[3217]: WARNING: command 'df -P -B 1 /mnt/pve/NFS-backup-01' failed: got timeout

I ran #service pvestatd restart but that didnt seem to do anything. Trying to avoid full server reboot.

Hi,
AFAIK restarting VM has nothing (or less?) to do with stop an backup job.

Do you have any entry in the VM-config about lock due backup?

Perhaps the backup-jop is running but the destination is not ready?

I unlocked the VM or else it did not want to power up.

I think i know what causing this misbehavior. I was experimenting with balance-rr link aggregation. It seems like although the NFS backup is turned on, Proxmox is unable to communicate with it. 3 NIC bonding has been used on 3 separate switch. I am going to connect the NFS in the same switch the proxmox cluster is in and see it the error on syslog stops.
In the mean time, is there a way to stop the backup progress showing on WebGUI. I know a reboot will take care of that. But any way i can stop without reboot?

[SOLVED] Re: Backup progress running but without real backup

The issue indeed was caused by Round Robin bonding. Each set of NIC was connected with separate switch. The moment i connected all switches together Proxmox were able to talk to NFS server and the backup progress bar stopped right away. I guess the error was due to communication error.
