Hi
Sorry if everything I'm about to write is not crystal clear: I'm still learning a lot when it comes to server virtualization.
I manage a production server that recently experiences problems when backing up the hosted Windows Server 2016 VMs it hosts.
Yesterday, the whole server froze after a really, really long backup task that took about 10 hours (which make no sense I guess). At some point, the team at OVH detected "a fault on the server", and hard-rebooted it. Obviously, this is unacceptable, as many websites were down for 7 or 10 minutes.
So today, I'm looking at what happened, and I'm thinking: the backup process most probably requires at least some free space on the disk somewhere, so it might got full at some point, which caused the freeze. Please correct me if that makes no sense. :-D
I attached a screenshot showing the only logical volume mounted on the node. It shows it's pretty full. But partitions on that volumes aren't full at all.
I'm also adding the output of vgdisplay and lvdisplay, which I guess may help you help me. ;-)
As I said, I'm still learning at lot. I'm a software developer, not an IT specialist. Thanks a lot for your help!
