[PVE-User] online backup / 2.6.32-4 vs. 2.6.32-6 (Alain P?an)

[Tonči Stipičević]

Hello Alain

thank you for your quick answer.

source.list on both nodes is exactly the same :

zmaj03-2:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib
# PVE packages provided by proxmox.com
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pve
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib

I think also that there is enough space on the lvm partition ....  (25% 
free)

     netapp-lvm    LVM    Yes    Yes    Yes    257.02    349.00

zmaj03:~# pvs
   PV         VG        Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
   /dev/sda2  pve       lvm2 a-   595.54G  3.99G
   /dev/sdb   vg-netapp lvm2 a-   349.00G 91.98G



Are my VMs big ? ... I don't know
please take look at lv sizes:

Volume ID    VMID    Size (GB)    Used (GB)
netapp-lvm:vm-101-disk-1    101    50.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-105-disk-1    105    15.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-106-disk-1    106    75.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-107-disk-1    107    10.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-108-disk-1    108    32.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-109-disk-1    109    20.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-113-disk-1    113    10.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-115-disk-1    115    10.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-116-disk-1    116    20.00    -
netapp-lvm:vm-117-disk-1    117    15.00    -



The backup does not start when we are talking about VMs of 10-15G ....  
not even tried the bigest one 75G :-)

/var/log/vzdump  folder contains only succesfull logs , there are no 
logs with the broken backups


but nevertheless,
I still don't know how to solve my update issue :-(

Thank you very much for your time !

best regards

Tonci Stipicevic
