Subject: [RFC proxmox{,-backup} 00/13] gc maintenance mode and full datastore protection
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:05:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430150607.330413-1-r.obkircher@proxmox.com> (raw)

Add a maintenance mode that only allows garbage collection, and avoid
running out of space by checking how much is available before writes.

I mostly wanted to ask if it really makes sense to add the maintenance
mode. It could also just be treated as a special case where the entire
space is reserved.

I'm also not super happy with the "check before writes" approach but I
couldn't come up with a better apporach either. Let me know if you have
other ideas.


proxmox:

Robert Obkircher (3):
  pbs-api-types: add datastore operation variant for reclaiming storage
  pbs-abi-types: add GarbageCollection maintenance mode
  pbs-api-types: add reserved space to datastore tuning options
