while backup is running, i'm getting this in syslog from pvestat (see below).

i'm backing up to a synology diskstation cifs share , which is mounted to all 5 cluster nodes.

doing ls on that mount is very slow to respond during backup.

despite that, backup seems to work fine.

what timeout am i running into and should i worry ?
