Subject: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] etc: provide and enable mount unit for /run/proxmox-backup
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:31:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119143148.9383-1-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.
The mount unit is only enabled but not started by dh_installsystemd,
so this has only effect after a reboot.

Changes since version 1 (thanks @Fabian):
- Drop unneeded systemctl enable ...
- Add comment for why the inodes are unlimited
- Correctly set mountpoint uid:gid
