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.

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.
 
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
Code: 
pveperf
on the cmd?
Post also the output of
Code: 
pvesm status
and
Code: 
journalctl -r -p3
 
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.
 
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?
 
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

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
 
then the old fashion way,

connect usb mount the drive

then cp the file to

Code: 
var/lib/vz/dump

and restore from local
