Hmm, seems like for that one had an invalid replication state and tried to do a full sync. I'm afraid you'll have to remove and re-create that job (or remove the volume on the target).
 
Many thanks to all of you for providing all these logs!

There was indeed a corner case that could lead to an inconsistent state (should be very difficult to trigger with pve-manager >= 7.1-6) and should be fixed by this proposed patch.
 
Hello Fabian,
Thank you for your answers.
This morning (PVE 7.1-6), one VM have still problem :

It seem touch some */2:00 réplication.
For this VM, last replication has worked yesterday 18PM.

Can you please reply when the patch is enable for testing ?

best regards.
 
PS: a suggestion: send an email to the root mail given in installation in the event of a replication error, because it's a problem not to know if it doesn't work

Could you please share the log from zpool history | grep vm-692010 (at least for the last day) from both source and target node and the syslog on the source node (since a bit before the last successful replication)?

Can you please reply when the patch is enable for testing ?

best regards.
Usually a few days after it has been reviewed and applied. But it should be very difficult to trigger that issue with pve-manager >= 7.1-6...

PS: a suggestion: send an email to the root mail given in installation in the event of a replication error, because it's a problem not to know if it doesn't work
That should actually already happen. Please check the configured email address for root@pam (in the UI: Datacenter > Users > Edit).

It seems like the old version was still running there. Quoting myself:
Note that it is still possible to run into the issue if there are active replications while upgrading, because the buggy version is still running during the upgrade.

To avoid spam, the error mail is only sent the first time a job fails until it has succeeded again, and it does seem like mails are sent:

to=<"root@ve-ara-23"@dreal-ara.i2> doesn't work, but to=<reseaux-serveurs.dreal-ara@developpement-durable.gouv.fr> is OK.
The configured email address for root@pam (in the UI: Datacenter > Users > Edit) is "reseaux-serveurs.dreal-ara@developpement-durable.gouv.fr" but the error mail is send to root@ve-ara-23"@dreal-ara.i2 (don't exist).
On a usual Proxmox VE setup, sending to root will forward to the address configured for root@pam. What are the contents of /root/.forward? Please also check your postfix configuration.

cat /root/.forward
|/usr/bin/pvemailforward

cat /etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = ve-ara-23.dreal-ara.i2
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
biff = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
relayhost = smtp.m2.e2.rie.gouv.fr
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
recipient_delimiter = +
myorigin = ve-ara-23@dreal-ara.i2

Standard config with add "myorigin" because without I don't recived mail.

It seems not forward to the address configured for root@pam.

Not a mail expert, but I think it might be because you set a relayhost, so the mail doesn't get processed locally anymore and so pvemailforward doesn't trigger.
 
I think at least the @ part is wrong here - see http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#myorigin

How does the mail have to look so that it's accepted by your relay host?
What's the error if you remove the myorigin line (and restart postfix)
First of all thanks for looking at my problem :)

Without "myorigin" the forward is ok but " Access denied" by smtp serveur
With "myorigin, no forward and no message because unknown recipient
So I get in touch with my messaging support.
Thanks a lot.
