Dear All

ERROR: VM 110 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup connect failed: command error: unable to create owner file "/mnt/ddev/vm/110/owner" - File exists (os error 17)
INFO: aborting backup job
INFO: resuming VM again
ERROR: Backup of VM 110 failed - VM 110 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup connect failed: command error: unable to create owner file "/mnt/ddev/vm/110/owner" - File exists (os error 17)

when i remove the "owner" file and run backup
ERROR: VM 118 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup connect failed: command error: unable to read "/mnt/ddev/vm/118/owner" - No such file or directory (os error 2)
INFO: aborting backup job
INFO: resuming VM again

who can explain. What is the function of this "owner" file? If the backup is successful, will PBS delete this file? If not, then will this file's contents be cleared?

sometimes backup successfully, sometimes backup failed. the errors are the first error, which states that the file already exists.
I don't know what this means?
PBS mount is NFS.
IP:/data/col1/pbs /mnt/ddev nfs hard,intr,nolock,nfsvers=3,tcp,rsize=1048600,wsize=1048600 0 0
the NFS come from Dell DD.

datastore.conf add "--tuning gc-atime-safety-check=0" Because there is a conflict between PBS's GC and DD, this parameter is added.

thanks everyone
