[PVE-User] vzdump fails with ext code 141

[James Mills]

Hi All,

We have a problem with backups for one of our VMs
on a production cluster running ProxMox VE 1.8

Here is an excerpt of the logs:

107: Oct 22 00:52:11 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 107 (openvz)

with exit code 141

My research regarding this issue has lead
me to believe that it might be a bug with
the version of tar on the host system which
runs Debian 5.0.8 (lenny) (installed with the
ProxMox VE 1.8 ISO).

See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487315

Basically I wants to know two things:

1) Has anyone encountered this problem before?
2) And if so, what was your solution?

I have been unable to find a later version of
tar available for Debian 5.0.8 (llenny) nor in
backports. I will keep looking for a solution myself
but it would be good to hear from others that use
ProxMox VE 1.8 in production.

kind regards,

James
