Hello everyone and happy new year!

On our PBS (2.2-1) the message
pbs snapclient[1043]: (Browser) CACHE_EXHAUSTED
is logged in the syslog exactly once per second. This has been going on for at least a month, the logs don't go back any further.

The server is working normally as far as I can tell. The backup jobs of the PVEs are running, the garbage collection and the verify jobs are also running and restores are also working.

RAM utilization in top:
MiB Mem: 7842.2 total, 2735.9 free, 2713.5 used, 2392.8 buff/cache
MiB Swap: 7168.0 total, 7153.0 free, 15.0 used. 4814.0 avail mem
So the utilization is not particularly high, even though the system only has 8 GB of RAM and 16 TB of backup storage. (Proxmox's recommendation is 1 GB of RAM per TB of backup storage)

There is also enough free space on all disks.

Can anyone help here?
 
Hi,

snapclient is not something shipped with Proxmox Backup Server and was probably installed manually, by someone else in your company(?).

I'd try uninstalling the package - you can list all installed packages using apt list --installed and search for any related ones.
