Hi Thomas,

my main "resistance" to trying to upgrade or version rollbacks is not the operation itself....
But this:

My garbage collect on hybrid, non-full SSD (NFS) datastores takes at least 10 days (that's over 300 Tbytes of storage).

If there was a system to keep track of the garbage collect parsing point before a reboot or upgrade would be a great thing, so that it could then be resumed from the breakpoint.

If I update the PBS the garbage collects are closed and restarted from scratch, ditto for a reboot.
