Hi all,
I recently added a PBS backup to an existing Proxmox installation.
This installation has been running for years backing up to a NFS share on a Synology.
There is a single VM running zentyal (ubuntu 20.04), that I am not able to backup up to PBS.
The backup fails:

Code:

Not only is the backup failing annoying, I still have the old backup that works without a problem, but after the backup the disk is read-only and when I reboot the instance, it goes to initramfs, I need to fsck /dev/mapper/zentyal--vg-root -y, where it repairs a bunch of errors, before it starts again.

Any ideas?
