    Backup error - zfs error: cannot create snapshot dataset already exists

    Hi, I had the same problem on PBS and I simply solved by destroying the incomplete backup. But the real problem is that BPS did not say anything about this problem in the log neither in report mails : I just discovered it by hand checking the PBS backup list. Is there a way to have an alert...

    Use Api to monitor ZFS Replication

    Thank you for your answer. But replication is usefull in case of a node failure. AFAIK the "/nodes/{node}/replication/{id}/status" API is not working if {node} is down. It would be very usefull to get this information either on any working node of the cluster or at least on the replication...

    Survey: Do you use KVM or OpenVZ, or both?

    I use both as many people here : openVZ wherever possible (performance) and KVM when no other choice. My question is what is the future of OpenVZ vs LXC in a few months (years ?)
