We now suddenly have a constant issue with the snapshot of one of the VMs we are running (PVE 1.9) which reports an error by email:
We are not 100% certain but we believe the issue might have caused a server freeze while it was running. The machine reporting the problem includes an installation of Splunk which installs itself on /opt/splunk/ and has some running files below as /var/run/...
The machine snapshot log shows many lines as:
.
Although the process seems to finish succesfully.
On the other hand, we have just added an LVM partition of the host machine to a KVM machine running windows. We thought that this kind of mounts like with bind mounts on VZ containers were not included in the snapshots but have now realized they do:
I am wondering in both cases if there is anyway to manually add a list of "-exclude" patterns to the rsync that creates machine snapshots to avoid both cases?
