Hi,
running PBS 3.2.2. I did some backups from PVE and restarted PBS and PVE guests in between. Changed setting to verifiy new backups=yes. Today, i deleted all content and redid a backup, this time fully. However, in dashboard running tasks there are still some verification tasks continuously counting their running upwards. Load is near to 0 on PBS. Verification jobs shows all verified ok (green).

Is it possible that i have some stale tasks not doing anything? How can i get rid of these?
Any cleanup for the datastore needed (sits on a SMB share)?
 
regarding the running tasks, another reboot has helped.

Regarding: is cleanup required? I'd still be interested to hear.
 
Depending on how fast the PBS server is and how fast the storage is and how many backups there are and the approximate angle of any cosmic rays involved, verify jobs can take quite some time. Particularly the first run. It is likely that it was actually still working. Verify seems to be something that PBS throttles back in order to let more important tasks run.

Your reboot strategy ... can't go wrong there. When in doubt, kick it.
