[pve-devel] [PATCH cluster] pmxcfs: status: create subdirs in /var/lib/rrdcached/db when needed

Lukas Wagner l.wagner at proxmox.com
Fri Aug 1 10:34:15 CEST 2025


Storage metrics and node metrics use a nested directory structure, e.g.:
  pve-storage-9.0
    somenode
      local
      local-lvm

The second level ('somenode') was not created correctly, leading to
errors when trying to update the RRD database.
