Hello,
I'll try to explain the problem :
I use proxmox 2.1 to create openVZ containers.
On one of those container, i run a web server (apache2) with about 1,8 milllions on files and i need to save thoses files every day. I've tried to use rsnapsot to do that... Rsnapshot never finish the save task...
so i've tried several things and i have some bizzare behaviours :
my virtual server is A, my snapshot si B (physical debian 6 box)...
making FTP connect from B to A and copy all directories and files gives me I/O errors... ( Erreur d'entrée/sortie in french)
making NFS, SSHFS, or any remote access gives me the same results...
if i make FTP from A to B (A controls the connexion), every thing is OK...
If i Tar my directories, copy it to B server (from A), untar it on B server, it's OK, but, if i mount A server's drive on B server, i can't make a diff between the 2 directories (still have I/O errors). wathever the FS (SMB, NFS, curlftpfs, sshfs...)
Code:
diff -rb www.XXXX.com/ /mnt/VMserverMount/www.XXXX.com
diff: /mnt/VMserverMount/www.XXXX.com/img_actu/000034.mp3: Erreur d'entrée/sortie
...
the other info is that the A machine have no problem to read the file and serve it via apache without problem (the files are readables and usables when downloaded vi HTTP)
If i do the same : mount B's drive on A server and make a diff between the 2 directories from A, i don't have any problem....
It looks like remote access on vm gives me i/o errors....
The hard drive on A server is clean (SMARTD ok, no error on boot, fsck clean...)
So i've tested to do the same on another proxmox box and i have the same issue....
does anybody experience the same things and have a solution ?
Thanks in advance...
