I'm trying to send a VM backup to a S3 bucket that has been mounted to a local file. I have succesfully backed up to this mounted share directly from proxmox with a ~25GB disk, but fails on a ~125GB disk.

Code:

I followed the top comment on this thread as a guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/5m4fna/backing_up_proxmox_to_s3_or_glacier_what_is_the/

Here's the successful attempt:

I have the same kind of issue, does someone have the solution?

Input/output errors might imply hardware issues. Check the output of dmesg for any messages about the disk.
 
Does your destination storage have enough free space?
 
We do not officially support Amazon S3 storage. You are probably using something like s3fs-fuse, so it might help to check the logs of that.
