Subject: [pbs-devel] [RFC proxmox{, -backup} 0/6] add support for configuring max
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 16:37:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904143735.125857-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
This uses POSIX semaphores to control how many backups run at any given
time. Semaphores seemed like a fitting choice given the problem, so I
added a basic wrapper for named ones to proxmox-sys. Also, the changes
needed to add concurrency limits in PBS were minimal.
A few questions I still have and would be great to get some feedback on,
- do we want to use semaphores like proposed here? Are there any good
reasons not to?
- should we include things like verify/gc/prune? Would an extra sem for
reading make sense(so separate limits for r and w, idk if there's a
use-case)?
Nothing UI-wise is included, and for changes to apply the proxy has to
be restarted. Not sure if restarting the proxy is "ok-ish" ux wise, I
guess not :P But changing it involves re-creating the semaphore, which
is fine, just that there won't exist one for a really short time...
