PBS currently allows the backup space usage to go right up to the quota limit and run out. When this happens, it can't even prune & garbage collect. PBS needs to set a reserve for itself or allow a separate configurable limit.
 
Well... you might put this as a feature request on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com - if it is not registered as a problem already. This way some developers might spot it.

I am just a (home-) user, but my expectation is that a "disk full"-event should not kill the workflow and cleaning up should be possible...

Best regards
 
Is there a solution for the quota problem on PBS ?

I have the service from tuxis ( work very well by the way) but my testing fill up the storage.

i want to make some space, but i can't bexause there is no space for cleaning either :

Code:
TASK ERROR: update atime failed for chunk/file "/mnt/datastore/backup001/DBxxxx/toto/.chunks/61a5/61a5a959a6cdc651e9cc0ec7f4cb8185d74ba97cee456a5767b9ebfb09bc036c" - EDQUOT: Quota exceeded

i don't have acces to the server so i am stuck with a full quota , and i can't do some cleaning.

Is there a solution?
