backup job hangs for 4 days

[holgihero]

Hi all,

i found a backup job hanging for about 4 days and now i wonder what will be the proper way to kill it. It is in snapshot mode so i need to delete the snapshot propperly.

Here is what happens according to ps:
3363 ? Ss 0:03 /usr/sbin/cron
20301 ? S 0:00 \_ /USR/SBIN/CRON
20307 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/vzdump --quiet --snapshot --compress --storage Backup-local --mailto x@yx.de --all
21185 ? S 0:00 \_ sh -c /usr/lib/qemu-server/vmtar '/data/vzdump-qemu-200-2011_04_09-05_53_42.tmp/qemu-server.conf' 'qemu-server.conf' '/dev/raid-local/vzsnap-xxx-hostserver-
21188 ? R 6299:46 \_ /usr/lib/qemu-server/vmtar /data/vzdump-qemu-200-2011_04_09-05_53_42.tmp/qemu-server.conf qemu-server.conf /dev/raid-local/vzsnap-xxx-hostserver-0 vm-d
21189 ? S 85:42 \_ gzip -

And this is what log says:
Apr 09 05:53:43 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 200 (qemu)
Apr 09 05:53:43 INFO: running
Apr 09 05:53:43 INFO: status = running

Apr 09 05:53:43 INFO: creating archive '/data/vzdump-qemu-200-2011_04_09-05_53_42.tgz'

Any hints?

Just kill the task. The snapshot is deleted when you start another backup task on that storage. Or you can manually delete it with lvremove.
