Originally assigned to: @mkellermann97 on GitHub.

Iam currently running Proxmox VE 9.1.4 and im trying out the Storage Balancing feature. PegaProx is connected to the cluster via root and password so native and no API-Key or anything.
I habe 4 LUNs (Pure Storage) connected via ISCSi and iam currently balancing 2 LUNs, one at ~75% the other at ~20%.
The threshold is set to 20% so the VM-Discs are currently moving from LUN 1 (75% full) to LUN 2 (20% full).
Now to my problem, the VM disks are being moved, so i can see that VM Disk on LUN 2 but the tasks at the bottom are full with TASK ERROR: can't lock file '/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-...conf' the error comes in every 2 minutes of the disk moving process. See the image (

)

The VMs where either powered on or off so I dont think that is the problem.
Is that a problem with our infrastructure or should I just ignore the ERROR for now? I mean the disks are getting moved but I was just wondering if the error is known or if I could do/test anything on my site.

Thanks in advance!
Luki
