Hi!
I got this problem for the 1st time in maybe 2-3 weeks (upgraded from 1.9 to 2.3)
The vzdump script could not backup ANY of the 15 VMs running. All with the same error.
Is there a way to hrm ... fix this?

Thank you very much

Looking at my NASs, its not a space problem ... if that helps a bit

edit: one of my node looks offline in the GUI but its online.
Trying to give as much details as i can.
 
Restarting the pve-cluster ... i can't see my 2nd node anymore. Anyone?
 
sorry for the thread spamming ....

Found the solution.... /etc/init.d/cman restart did the trick

I guess some sort of network failure could have caused the cluster issue hance blocking the vzdump ...

Could that be it? I remember some DNS problems yesterday.
