backup broblem

[kobe]

hi there,

i've proxmox running without any issuues for about one year now, but since yesterday i recieve the following messages when trying to backup a vm.
version proxmox 1.5.

this was the first error message:

command 'mount -t ext3  /dev/pve/vzsnap-proxmox.******-0 /mnt/vzsnap0' failed with exit code 32

all following tries to backup ended in that one:

command 'lvcreate --size 1024M --snapshot --name vzsnap-proxmox.borgried.webhop.net-0 /dev/pve/data' failed with exit code 5

any ideas what to do?

thanks in preview.

Please can you post the full backup log? Or run the vzdump backup from the console an post the whole output.

here is the console-output of vzdump:

Please delete that old snapshot.

do you mean the file in vzsnap0 in /mnt/?

removed it, but at the next backup attempt the same errors occured and the file was there agan.

do you mean the file in vzsnap0 in /mnt/?

no, I ment the Logical volume "vzsnap-proxmox.borgried.webhop.net-0. Try to remove it with

# lvremove /dev/pve/vzsnap-proxmox.borgried.webhop.net-0
