RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
People with FreeBSD 13.2 or later as a guest are also now able to use Netlink to get their IP address changes reported instantly (rather than having to wait for as much as 1 minute).
This is however not yet part of our CI jobs, as we rely on
cross-rs
, which for now only provides FreeBSD 12 cross-build support. Your choices to try it:Don't forget to
kldload netlink
first, the Netlink support is not active by default! -
RE: Xen Orchestra netbox sync error
@sb2014 this address reporting looks buggy, can you please share some guest information (OS type and version, guest agent version reported by XO)?

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
@Dataslak can you please request a commandline from GRUB (hit
c
on the boot menu), and issue the following commands:echo $root search --label --set root root-eqjpzg echo $root

RE: Guest running kernel 6.8 hangs after a while
Raised this on IRC, resulting in:
I'll see what I can do, we may still have some time to include this before the release
I guess that's pretty much all we can do on our side (and that's nice from them ).

RE: Guest running kernel 6.8 hangs after a while
Catching up with the subject...
The good news first: the patch is already in the 6.8 stable branch (as c8b7b2f158d9d4fb89cd2f68244af154f7549bb4), and part of v6.8.5.
The Ubuntu situation is:
- master kernel branch OTOH has been at v6.8.4 for 12 days, with only minor packaging adjustments since then
- latest tag on master is 6.8.0-25 (only used for lowlatency kernel as of today), based on v6.8.1
- they also have a 6.8.0-26 and changelog entries for -27 on master-next (all about s390)
- standard kernel at 6.8.0-22, based on v6.8.1 too
I'm not familiar with their internal processes, but I suspect they're probably in a validation cycle for upcoming upcoming version right now, and any such fix would have to wait for next one.
The tracker ticket for 6.8.0-27 seems to imply -27 packaging is "in progress". Still digging...

@kevdog do you have any specific issue not addressed by the build instructions in the README?

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
@Tristis-Oris said in New Rust Xen guest tools:
@Theo main point to avoid such issues without tuning the OS.
easy way - disable selinux.I'd like to point out, while this is useful to test the tools, it is not recommended to do that on a production VM - sorry if that sound obvious, but better safe than sorry

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
We just released version 0.4.0. Biggest highlight is that it is not necessary any more to have
libxenstore
separately installed in guests, so the new RPM is now compatible with RHEL/CentOS and similar distros.Details to be found at https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/releases/0.4.0

RE: New Rust Xen guest tools
@forbiddenera FreeBSD support is already there, and binaries are available since v0.3.0 release. However, full support making use of Netlink (supported since FreeBSD 13.2) is not to be considered as mature yet, only due to the need to use still-unofficial patches on some dependencies -- full status here.
Windows support is also coming, but requires more work than FreeBSD did, you can follow the status of the first meaningful step (communicating collected info back to host) here. Right now a few other tasks take precedence, expect things to move forward again within a few weeks.

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
@Dataslak if you only launched the upgrade and did not reboot yet, that alert is normal. Now if you did reboot them already, there is likely a problem.
One idea crossed my mind: when you upgraded to 8.3, in the list of products found on your disks, were you properly proposed to upgrade a RAID install, on all those hosts?

RE: After installing updates: 0 bytes free, Control domain memory = 0B
@Dataslak so it is choosing to "boot from the 1st disk of the raid1", we could try to tell him to boot from the 2nd one:
- on the grub menu hit
e
to edit the boot commands - replace that
search ...
line withset root=hd1,gpt1
- then hit Ctrl-x to boot
- on the grub menu hit

@Dataslak what does
lsblk -o name,mountpoint,label,size,uuid
show? -

@Houbsi
not sure what indeed happenedI had messed up and used links to the CI run on commit instead of that of the tag. I had to update the links to point to new job ids. Thanks for the notice!
