Okay so i setup PBS fresh with a single 14TB Disk (no backup jobs scheduled or even configured yet). That disk has 2 partitions each 7TB
A(sdb1) is configured as a Zpool with ZFS and a single datastore on it
B(sdb2) is just a ext4 filesystem
As soon as i edit /etc/fstab and mount partition B
UUID=XXXX /Shared ext4 rw,nofail 0 2
and then reboot i get a periodically unlimited disk access every 500ms or so. Really short. it is preventing deep sleep and also is quite annoying. When i remove that line from fstab and reboot it is gone again.
I am pulling my hairs to find out why this is. With htop i was at least able to see the process that seems to be responsible for this:
zpool status is just giving me:
pool: BackupPool
state: ONLINE
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
BackupPool ONLINE 0 0 0
sdb1 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
I'm unfortunately at the end of my knowledge. I wanted to use the ext4 partition for a simple samba share, because i am using macrium reflect to backup my windows pc and then would save it there. i first tried to have both partitions as zfs but the performance with samba/nfs was bad somehow. but that is another story....
