I am trying to run an image backup from Linux Mint 20.3 to Proxmox Backup Server. At the very end, it fails:
Code:
...
append chunks list len (64)
append chunks list len (64)
append chunks list len (64)
append chunks list len (64)
append chunks list len (9)
Error: Input/output error (os error 5)
dan@rocky:~$

The invoking command:
Code:
sudo proxmox-backup-client backup \
        sda.img:/dev/sda \
        --repository root@pam@192.168.1.37:8007:sdb-a \
        --ns rocky \
        --verbose

And from the syslog:
Code:

hi,

can you also post the syslog of the client system? the input/output error could also be from the source side...
