I have a proxmox system with one backupserver, for all backups the option fleecing is enabled the fleecing storrage is a local zpool1 on all vm servers.
So this vm is failing but others are done.
The zpool1 has 1Tb space and there is free space.

The other possibility is that there was an IO error. In QEMU 9.0 (not released for Proxmox VE yet), the error message will be improved to show the actual root cause.

AFAIK, there is no bulk reboot functionality right now. You could combine bulk shutdown followed by a bulk start of course.
