[PVE-User] bug with vzdump very dangerous !!!!!

[Jean-Laurent Ivars]

Hi all,

I am an happy user of Proxmox since a few years but tonight i had a very serious issue : 
I ran out of space on my nfs backup storage and guess what happened ? Of course the backup could not run but the problem is that ALL MY KVM MACHINES HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE VZDUMP PROCESS !!! (and of course i have not been warned because my supervision machine was on the same cluster… stupid me)

This is a very dangerous bug, at the beginning I did not understand what happened but i found this thread where someone had the very same issue :
http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/21040-VZDUMP-backup-causes-KVM-QEMU-VM-to-shutdown-if-backup-storage-is-full <http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/21040-VZDUMP-backup-causes-KVM-QEMU-VM-to-shutdown-if-backup-storage-is-full>

I don’t understand why nobody answered him on the forum, in my opinion this is a very serious bug and should be repaired as soon as possible !

I give you some technical info (ask me if you need more)

first precision : I don’t know if it’s relevant but my backup are in snapshot mode

Now that i’m aware of this bug I will be more careful and won’t been catch again but i think it’s something that everyone should be warned about !
