Hi!

I am trying to file-restore from disk with XFS file system:

No XFS mount on vda2?

you use XFS on LVM - the LVM part is what is not yet supported.

Wow! The original question was asked by me. :)
And I don't know why fpausp answers the question asked to me :)
But I'll try to answer too:

mount in VM look as:

cat /etc/fstab
...
UUID=a4665bab-36b0-4534-bc1f-1e7ad2facf89 /var/samba/pub xfs defaults 0 2

# mount | grep sdb
...
/dev/sdb1 on /var/samba/pub type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)


And where do I need to look /var/log/proxmox-backup/file-restore/qemu.log ?

On PBS:
cat /var/log/proxmox-backup/file-restore/qemu.log
cat: /var/log/proxmox-backup/file-restore/qemu.log: No such file or directory


On node with running VM: the same "No such file or directory"

P.S. and I don't use LVM :)

on the pve node after you started the file-restore

proxmox-backup-client: 1.1.6-2
can you post the output of

dpkg -l | grep proxmox-backup

maybe the packages are too old, i think i remember some bug where we forgot some mount options

just updated packages for PVE:

ii proxmox-backup-client 1.1.8-1 amd64 Proxmox Backup Client tools

But still this error...

ok and the log? i do not see how that log does not get created, if its still not there can you do
Code:
ls -lhaR /var/log/proxmox-backup

?

:(
 
can you please check on the pve node on which you connect?

This was checked on a node with a running VM (for which a file-restore was made).
The same as I have already provided a screenshot (two my messages above)

well i don't know what to say, the file-restore definitely writes into that logfile, and that will most likely contain the source of the original error
maybe check your other cluster nodes for the logs?

looking at the code it would fail much earlier when it could not create the logfile (it would not even be possible to list the partitions) so they have to be somewhere....

I just tested on the other three nodes. On one of them I found:

But this seems to apply to other backups...

Hi!

Assumption only. Maybe I need to install some package from PBS to PVE?

no, if the file-restore from the gui is already working, all packages that are needed are already installed...

i am honestly really baffled as to why the logs are not there...

just to check, you always started the file-restore before checking if the logfiles are there?

Yes, in all cases I ran the file recovery in the GUI first, and then tried to see the logfile (on node with this VM).

Since I was updating:

# dpkg -l | grep proxmox-backup
ii libproxmox-backup-qemu0 1.0.3-1 amd64 Proxmox Backup Server client library for QEMU
ii proxmox-backup-client 1.1.8-1 amd64 Proxmox Backup Client tools
ii proxmox-backup-file-restore 1.1.8-1 amd64 Proxmox Backup single file restore tools for pxar and block device backups
ii proxmox-backup-restore-image 0.2.2 amd64 Kernel/initramfs images for Proxmox Backup single-file restore.

may I need to restart the PVE cluster? I did not reboot, because I did not see the pve-kernel in the last updates.
But maybe I didn't notice ...
I can do reboot on Saturday.
