Restore failed. Broken Pipe error

[Drax]

What causes this & How do I fix it? I have plenty of space on the data drive. I simply am trying to restore an image from a backup.
* (process:589853): ERROR *
: restore failed - bdrv_write to drive-ide0 failed (-28) /bin/bash: line 1: 589852 Broken pipe

How do I fix it? BTW if failed at like 19%. I have tried a few times same exact result.

where are you restoring? though USB or network?

 

[Drax]

USB but we have never had any issues prior in several years. The USB drive is new. So I know the drive isn't at issue or shouldn't be.

How is the I/O delay at restore?

 

[Drax]

I wouldn't know. Where would I find it? It has worked in past but now it fails.

I wouldn't know. Where would I find it? It has worked in past but now it fails.

If you start the backup, you see in pve-webinterface the host i/o delay. How much is that during the process?
Maybe the new USB HDD is broken, can you test it with an other disk?
What say

pveperf

on the cmd?
Post also the output of

pvesm status

and

journalctl -r -p3

 

[Drax]

Backups work perfectly. Restores are what are failing. I am not at the DC and with this old version of Proxmox getting to a command prompt is difficult.

 

[fireon]

Have you an Raidcontroller with cache?
And do you use lvm-thin?
What Raidlevel do you use?
What hardware to you have (disks, cpu, mem)?
Why it should get a cmd diffcult with an older version of proxmox? What version do you use?

 

[Drax]

No raid on the backup, just a simple USB drive.
No raid controller, using software raid.
Not sure about lvm-thin. Where would I look to find out?
Main drive is a raid 10 array. All working fine. Ran disc diag on all drives. Xeon CPU 8 core. 64GB ram. Version 3.1.21
It shouldn't be. SSH is just difficult sometimes and haven't figured out why. I am planning on upgradeing the Proxmox version as soon as I have everything stable

 

[fireon]

Raid10 is fine! So you have only a problem to restore, can you backup a VM local on the machine, and test then a restore? Or backup first on another USBdrive, or another internal SATA/SAS-Drive.

i would do what @fireon recommends put the dump into the local of the proxmox to do this i would recommend easy open up winscp
then go to var/lib/vz/dump and place the backup file there then on webGUI restore from the local

 

[Drax]

Winscp? I don't use windows. Not sure how to do what you suggest.

 

[killmasta93]

then the old fashion way,

connect usb mount the drive

then cp the file to

var/lib/vz/dump

and restore from local
