Hello,
the context is that we have a Proxmox Virtual Environment hosted on a physical server.
This Proxmox Virtual Environment hosts only one virtual machine which is a Proxmox Backup System.
The VM which host the proxmox backup system has two disks, one for the OS from local-zfs of the hosting PVE, the other to store the datastore from a zfspool of the hosting PVE.
The second one is full which causes IO-error. The VM is not accessible through the console and is not online.
Is there a way to do some cleanings (remove old backup stored by the proxmox backup system VM, for instance) on the zpool via the Proxmox Virtual Environment ?
 
Well actually we avoid the issue by wiping the VM disk and we are resyncing it using the primary datastore.
So no more issue.
