Subject: [PATCH v1 proxmox-backup 1/2] datastore: improve error if prune can't lock a snapshot for deletion
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:17:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430092022.31857-2-r.obkircher@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430092022.31857-1-r.obkircher@proxmox.com>
Include the locking failure in the message (without causes to avoid
duplicate paths) and switch to a more readable representaiton of the
BackupDir.
Changes the error message from:
2026-04-29T12:16:17+02:00: failed to remove dir "host/19/2026-04-29T10:16:13Z": while destroying snapshot 'BackupDir { store: "data3", ns: BackupNamespace { inner: [], len: 0 }, dir: BackupDir { group: BackupGroup { ty: Host, id: "19" }, time: 1777457773 }, backup_time_string: "2026-04-29T10:16:13Z" }'
to
2026-04-29T16:38:24+02:00: failed to remove dir "host/28/2026-04-29T14:38:19Z": while destroying snapshot "/srv/aaaa/host/28/2026-04-29T14:38:19Z": unable to acquire snapshot lock "/run/proxmox-backup/locks/aaaa/host-28-2026\\x2d04\\x2d29T14\\x3a38\\x3a19Z"
This error is reproducible with PBS in a single-core VM by running
"Prune All" while starting many concurrent backups.
