Yep, sounds like a combination of VE limitation + CIFS features making this complex. You are not necessarily doing anything special, actually CIFS is more flexible as far as being able to de-couple between OS uid/gid against file server's user/group (in comparison to NFS that is). But CIFS is...

deranjer, My apologies, you are right. what am I thinking? :-) I am trying to understand your issue, "... I have multiple users ..." Lets say you have 3 users: bob, john, and jack. Do you mean you have a samba/CIFS server with those three users and 3 user directories and you would like to...

I am not a developer or contributor for Promox, but I believe I understand the reason behind VMID and would like to share... VMID is like primary key in database. It must be unique per cluster (singleton). Because so many things rely on this number changing this is both tedious and dangerous...

Thank you for the answer. I spent a few hours last night converting from 'directory' storage type to 'lvm group' storage type. Now, OpenVZ backup using Snapshot method works perfectly. Thank you, Dietmar! --AN

I would suggest a sanity check at this time to isolate the problem whether this is Unicast vs Multicast issue. I know you said your company does not allow multicast, possible to get a different switch and plug these servers into this different switch and do multicast?

When trying to backup an OpenVZ container using SNAPSHOT method, I always encounter a bunch of errors (see log below). But using STOP mode works great. And I read somewhere that snapshot only works with LVM2 type storage? All our containers are on 'directory' type of storage. I just want to...
