Hello everyone,
We have mounted an S3 storage as a directory under Storage to store backups. Now we're having the problem that the backups are first written or cached to "local," and then, when the backups are complete, they suddenly appear on the S3 storage, and the local storage is free again.
At the moment, the backups and the local storage are barely managing, as the backups "only" fill up about 85% of the local storage. Error messages like "[WARN] MON_DISK_LOW" appear because the local storage is almost full. As soon as the backup is complete and stored on the S3, the local storage is almost empty again. My concern is that if the backup size increases and exceeds the size of the local storage, the system will fill up and crash.
We can't expand the local storage because we don't have any more storage space available. Is there a way to write directly to the S3 storage without Proxmox caching it locally first?
Thanks and best regards!
