proxmox backup nbdkit plugin round 2
I re-implemented the proxmox backup nbdkit plugin in C.
It seems golang shared libraries don’t play well with programs that fork().
As a result, the Plugin was only usable if nbdkit was run in foreground mode (-f), making it impossible to use nbdkit’s’ captive modes, which are quite useful.. Lessons learned.
