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
