Garbage collections failing

[Sempiterna]

The garbage collections are failing both from the GUI and CLI with the following error:

2020-12-13T20:32:31+01:00: TASK ERROR: unable to get exclusive lock - EACCES: Permission denied

I use a CIFS share as datastore. Backups are working. Prunes are working since version 1.0-6 (dev/test version). Restarting the proxmox-backup-proxy service right before starting the garbage collection works. It starts failing again as soon as new backups are written.

Is this a bug of some sorts specific to CIFS/NFS shares?

Have you been able to solve this already? Has this been working before? Are you sure that you have set all required permissions correctly?

It's working now. Maybe something changed between the pbs version I was running when I created the post, and now (version 1.0-8).
