Hello,

we have a vm that was reporting an error during snapshot creation:

TASK ERROR: VM 130 qmp command 'migrate-set-capabilities' failed - There's a migration process in progress

even if the vm was not migrated or moved.
It was causing problem with the backup so we stopped and started the vm again without issue, we were able then to perform a backup without any issue, unfortunately we found that we are not able to find files created in the last 2 weeks on the VM, the vm works fine, just the files from the last 2 weeks are vanished.
Anyone else experienced this before?

Thanks
 
Hi,
snapshot creation uses the same mechanism as migration under the hood, so likely that's why the error message talks about migration. Maybe a previous snapshot was still happening or failed. Please share the Task History for the VM in the UI as well as the output of pveversion -v and qm config 130.

It would also be interesting to see the system logs/journal from the last 3 weeks regarding this VM. E.g. you could filter with grep -C 2 "\<130\>"
