I have been using sanoid on machines for a little while now and it has been fantastic, however, on a Ubuntu 24.04 server I have installed sanoid from the repository and all was working well. Unfortunately know after a few hours it appears as though the systemd service stops working preventing the snapshots from being taken and I was just wondering if any of you have experienced this before.
Any help would be much appreciated :-).
Below are some before and after shots of the systemd service after manually starting the service again.
the .timer runs the .service - the .service is not supposed to be running except when it’s actively doing something. - see how under .service the TriggeredBy line?
Your timer will show active and waiting
systemctl status sanoid.timer
● sanoid.timer - Run Sanoid Every 15 Minutes
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/sanoid.timer; enabled; preset: disabled)

Awesome, thanks for the advice, I’ll try and get a screenshot as soon as possible, the service is currently working again and taking snapshots properly but as soon as the issue reoccurs I’ll be on it. I will just say that there was definitely an issue because snapshots weren’t being taken and there was a cross next to TriggeredBy whereas when it is working their is a green dot.
Sorry I know this is almost nothing to go on, I’ll get the screenshot as soon as I can.
