Hello everyone,

My backup fail since some times on this LXC specifically and I don't know exactly why.
This LXC run an Opencloud stack in a rootless Podman.

Backup logs:
Code:

TASK ERROR: job errors

I think the root cause is the error below but I'm not sure why it happen:
Code:
mount -o ro -t zfs capacity/subvol-315-disk-0@vzdump /mnt/vzsnap0/home/container/volumes/opencloud/data/storage
filesystem 'capacity/subvol-315-disk-0@vzdump' cannot be mounted at '/mnt/vzsnap0/home/container/volumes/opencloud/data/storage' due to canonicalization error: No such file or directory

Mounting the disk on a smaller path work:
Code:
mount -o ro -t zfs capacity/subvol-315-disk-0@vzdump /mnt/vzsnap0/

Is it a limitation of ZFS regarding the path length ?
