Hi All,

I recently did an upgrade of my backup SMB host (TrueNAS from version 12-U7 to 13-U2) and it seems to have messed up my Proxmox backups.

I tried deleting the storage in Proxmox and re-adding it, rebooting all machines involved, disabling and re-enabling the share on both Proxmox and TrueNAS. Finally I just created an NFS storage share of the same folder on TrueNAS and tested a backup from one of the VMs. Everything seemed to be working so I let the nightly backups run last night.

Now I'm getting this error on only ONE (1) of two (2) VMs that are backing up from my one host.

Code:
ERROR: Backup of VM 100 failed - unable to open file '/mnt/pve/TNShare2/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2022_10_18-08_00_31.tmp/qemu-server.fw.tmp.3008175' - Operation not permitted
INFO: Failed at 2022-10-18 08:00:31

INFO: Backup job finished with errors
TASK ERROR: job errors

The other VM on that host backs up without issue and the other 2 VMs on the other host have no issue either.

Any idea what the heck is going on here?

Thanks,

Rob

EDIT - I migrated the VM in question to the other host (local storage with replication between hosts) and it won't back up from that host either.

could you try adding the "noserverino" mount option to the mount on the PVE side?
 
Fabian,

After posting the above I found a bunch of other network issues and it seems my main switch had locked up with 100% CPU usage. The rest of the network was coping with it but the TrueNAS-Proxmox combo didn't and actually helped me find the switch issue.

This issue was resolved by rebooting the switch.

Thanks,

Rob
