Subject: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] etc: provide and enable mount unit for /run/proxmox-backup
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:15:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119131553.40703-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)

Since the introduction of per-chunk file locks for datastores with s3
backend, the inodes on the tmpfs backing /run/proxmox-backup might be
to limited, the kernel dynamically calculating the limit based on
available system memory [0]. To not limit the number of inodes,
provide a systemd mount unit to create a dedicated tmpfs for
/run/proxmox-backup and only enable this for now so it becomes
effective on reboot, since this cannot be safely started now.
