run replication first

TASK ERROR: snapshot 'up' needed by replication job '122-2' - run replication first

Job was previously (months ago) removed but stuck in Removal Scheduled state. It looks like jobs must be enabled to perform delete remote snapshots. Snapshots was deleted months ago, so only force will help.

pvesr delete 122-1 --force 1

Or remove jobs from file /etc/pve/replication.cfg

Permission denied (os error 13)

During CT backup:

INFO: Error: unable to create backup group "/mnt/datastore/backup/ns/home/ns/not_important/ct/114" - Permission denied (os error 13)

Solution: fix directory permissions on Proxmox Backup Server to allow given user to create new dir.

Full clone feature is not supported for drive 'scsi2' (500)

Try to clone machine from snapshot. Selecting snapshot 'current' for clone source works.

REASON:

Replication Job: 151-1 failed

command 'zfs snapshot nvmpool/data/vm-151-disk-0@__replicate_151-1_1610641828__' failed: got timeout

this described problem normally occurs is the pool is under load and snapshot has a lower priority. Yes, the snapshot will be created because it is in the ZFS low priority queue.

The current guest configuration does not support taking new snapshots

LXC container created on local-zfs and mount point /var/lib/docker to local storage (RAW file on disk). It is becasue local (DIR type) doesn't support snapshots! Solution is to move from local to RBD storage.

TASK ERROR: VM is locked (clone)

qm unlock 105

No CIFS storage after few days

See below.

TASK ERROR: start failed: org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit: Unit 107.scope not found.

Workaround is to clean msg.lock directory from cron.
