Every so often I get notified that a replication failed. Text:
----------
Replication job '107-0' with target 'pve2' and schedule '*/2:00' failed!
Last successful sync: 2025-09-23 18:00:48
Next sync try: ERROR
Failure count: 1
Error:
command '/usr/bin/ssh -e none -o 'BatchMode=yes' -o 'HostKeyAlias=pve2' -o 'UserKnownHostsFile=/etc/pve/nodes/pve2/ssh_known_hosts' -o 'GlobalKnownHostsFile=none' root@192.1.1.60 -- pvesr prepare-local-job 107-0 --scan vm-storage vm-storage:vm-107-disk-0 vm-storage:vm-107-state-Restart vm-storage:vm-107-state-Update --last_sync 1758675648 --parent_snapname Update' failed: exit code 4
----------------------
It's not terribly worrisome to me because a successful replication happens soon after. I have several replication jobs, and it's always this one that fails.
Any hints about where to look for the problem? Is it because there are multiple replication jobs scheduled at the same time? If the issue is multiple replication jobs scheduled at the same time, when you create a replication job is there a way to specify a schedule in the GUI more like a crontab entry would look? The schedules available under the dropdown menu are pretty limited.
