SOLVED: Linux client creating multiple LVM snapshots

client
1

Hi,
I am running Server 2.0.27 but not sure of the client version… How do I check a Linux client without urbackup gui?
The particular client runs Ubuntu 14.0.4 64bit and is on the same LAN as the server. It backs up using LVM snapshots at about 900mb/s. Amazing!
The only issue is the client fails to remove the snapshot afterwards.
This results in multiple huge snapshots, see below.

The real trouble starts when the snapshots cause the server to slow down to a snails pace. I then reboot which fails because the snapshots cause the boot process to timeout. To boot successfully I end up having to manually remove the snapshots via the busybox cli.

Obviously the work around is to manually remove the snapshots each day.
Is this issue fixed in recent client versions?

Thanks,
Glenn

Could you put the client into debug logging mode and take a look if it shows a reason for why it fails to remove the snapshots?

Should be after the log line: Deleting shadowcopy for path "X"...

I can confirm this is resolved in client version 2.0.31 (I had been using 2.0.30)
Thanks again!
