Hello,

I'm having trouble on our Proxmox nodes with backing up. I noticed that LZO compressed backups were failing to create, so I have tried backing up using no compression at all but get the following error text.


INFO: 98% (117.9 GiB of 120.0 GiB) in 14m 54s, read: 1.3 GiB/s, write: 0 B/s INFO: 99% (119.8 GiB of 120.0 GiB) in 14m 57s, read: 655.2 MiB/s, write: 0 B/s INFO: 100% (120.0 GiB of 120.0 GiB) in 14m 58s, read: 235.7 MiB/s, write: 12.0 KiB/s ERROR: vma_writer_close: close failed - Input/output error INFO: aborting backup job ERROR: Backup of VM 113 failed - vma_writer_close: close failed - Input/output error INFO: Failed at 2020-09-24 16:07:21 INFO: Backup job finished with errors TASK ERROR: job errors
