Question on namespaces

[p-user]

I created on my S3 storage two namespaces, one for vm images, and one for mailbackup.
I left the latter, mailbackup, empty and I noticed after some time that the empty namespace was removed.

Is this correct and intentional?

Hey,

hmm, no. Namespaces should not disappear, regardless of being empty or not. Does the cache still have it?

ls <CACHE_PATH>/ns

And what does proxmox-backup-debug api get /admin/datastore/<DATASTORE_NAME>/namespace say?

I can't check it anymore, as I have removed the S3 storage and rebuild it. I messed around with it and a garbage collection failed as well.
It is fine now again, but next time I noticed I will check these commands.

As it is still testing time, I removed all backups from the namespace that dissapeared. See if it will stay until the next automated backup, which is tonight.

Kind regards,
Albert
