VZDUMP stuck - can't kill vzdump task

[jostein]

same problem.

root 2384347 0.0 0.1 527388 91152 ? Ds Dec08 0:03 task UPID:****-**:002461DB:17DADFF4C:5FCFBF21:vzdump::root@pam:

cant kill the pid. there must be some service that not pvestatd that controlls this prosses.



any input on how to fix this?

okey. this is a workround for the cant kill -9 PID PROBLEM

for example:
umount -f /mnt/pve/<NAME OF MOUNT> and then kill it in consol by kill -9 or in gui. takes 1min but easy to fix.

Can't umount it either. "Target is busy"...

I've yet to have a single successful backup with proxmox, it always freezes at some point and can't be killed. My NAS performs perfectly fine with replications and other backup jobs through rsync from other hosts.

Is vzdump just broken?

This causes all sorts of issues that end up requiring a host restart, which is pretty unacceptable.

didn't work for me,
umount succeeds, but still can not stop vzdump (vzdump --stop or kill -9 $ID)

@a5e0n i allso did have to restart pvedaemon services to get it to "let go of NFS"

i got this error TASK ERROR: command 'systemctl restart pvedaemon' failed: received interrupt without it

Hello, I have a cluster with version 7.4-3. I had such a problem with mounting SMB(cifs) until I found the solution:

Do not click STOP button of the task.
Open a shell to the appropriate node and type:

umount -f -l /mnt/pve/<<mount point>> && vzdump --stop

task stops for a few seconds.
-l is required because <<mount point>> is busy.

Works like a charm for me.

root@proxmox2:~# umount -f -l /mnt/pve/<<mount point>> && vzdump --stop
stopping backup process 2428713 failed

Doesnt work for me. Its a SMB/CIFS share too
