Problem
The /mnt/nbdata/ filesystem fills to 100% quickly once backups start in the environment.
Specifically there are several hundred directories here: /mnt/nbdata/usr/openv/var/proxy_peers, each of them around 0.4 MB in size, this is normal.
Once the partition becomes full the instance will stop accepting connections.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
