Good morning,

I've been having issues on garbage collection on one of my datasets. The backups and the verification process work as well.

Code: 
2024-07-02T00:00:00+02:00: starting garbage collection on store pbs-high-value

Any ideas? Thanks!
 
what are the permissions of that file? please also check on the hypervisor side since it seems to be a passed-in mountpoint via virtiofs
 
Thanks Fabian. Here's the info:

From the Hypervisor:
Code: 
-rw-r--r-- 1 34 34 466375 Apr 27 13:15 /mnt/user/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/65f985af2d86767b079017009afa4e8a2ffad390ad86eb54c4c06985722293a9

that looks okay in principle.. could you do `stat` on that path both ends and post the output?
 
Sure:

what happens if you run "touch /mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/65f985af2d86767b079017009afa4e8a2ffad390ad86eb54c4c06985722293a9" inside the VM as user backup? what if you do it as user root?
 
runuser -u backup -g backup touch /...
 
Ok. With root user, no errors. With backup user I get a permission denied error.

Code: 
runuser -u backup -g backup touch /mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/65f985af2d86767b079017009afa4e8a2ffad390ad86eb54c4c06985722293a9
touch: cannot touch '/mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/65f985af2d86767b079017009afa4e8a2ffad390ad86eb54c4c06985722293a9': Permission denied
 
what about the parent directories? is it just that particular chunk., or are others also "untouchable"?
 
Hi Fabian,

I cannot touch anything inside /.chunks/65f9/ using the backup user.

Code: 
runuser -u backup -g backup touch /mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/test
touch: cannot touch '/mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/test': Permission denied

I can touch inside /.chunks/ with the backup user.

Thanks

how are the permissions of the 65f9 directory?
 
Here they are:

Code: 
ls -l /mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/
total 3104

Thanks!
 
I really meant the permissions of the directory ;) e.g., adding `-a` to the ls call, or calling stat on it should do the trick!
 
Oh I see. Thanks!

please do "chmod ug+x /mnt/pbs-high-value/.chunks/65f9/", that should solve the issue. please also double check the other dirs (well, GC will likely tell you if others are missing those bits anyway ;))
 
Very good! I had to change another directory but the GC process finally run to the end.

Checking all the logs I found that I have another (intermittent) error. This is the part of the log that returns the error (same dataset as before; full log attached). Any ideas here? It's the same directory so I don't know if was caused by the same permission error.

Code: 
2024-07-04T00:07:29+02:00: verify pbs-high-value:ct/501/2023-12-29T09:01:42Z

Thanks Fabian!

probably. but you can try re-running the verification for that snapshot to make sure, now that the permissions are hopefully fixed.
 
Hello,

The solution in this post still works, but I need to do it every couple months. Any idea how to find the root cause of the permission error?

Best regards
