    @florent Thanks for your reply! We have started to migrate thousands of VMs, so disk transfer speed is important for us.. We will also do our detailed tests soon with different threads setting and publish it here. I think threads=1 is a good and logical default, but not efficient. Others might complain if you set it to a higher value. Configuration option would be a real good solution.

    Hello I'm pulling stats for all VMs to understand CPU usage. We're a bit behind the curve in terms of XO versions, but these questions hopefully are still relevant. If using a granularity of days, the interval is set to 86400 (understandably) but the endTimestamp varies. Running this on June 9th @ ~1740 we get timestamps for both Mon Jun 8 01:00:00 AM BST 2026 and Tues Jun 9 01:00:00 AM BST 2026. Does this average across the day? Why is the timestamp 0100? Why would there be different timestamps between VMs (all are running) and does that mean that the figures are misaligned in the results? These are retrieved via curl and a bash script, a bit hacky, but for clarity the request is: ++ curl -X GET -s -H accept:application/json -b authenticationToken=[[REDACTED]] -o [[REDACTED]] 'https://[[REDACTED]]/rest/v0/vms/[[REDACTED]]/stats?granularity=days' Really keen to know if we can control the start and endtime, as well as provide a manual interval, as well as the aggregation strategy (min, max, average). Are any of these possible? Lastly, is cpuUsage the percentage as per the dashboard, but averaged over all CPUs? Thanks so much in advance. James

    The Kubernetes CSI driver for Xen Orchestra just hit v0.4.0, and we want it on more real clusters before it reaches a stable release candidate. If you run Kubernetes on XCP-ng VMs, this is a good time to give it a proper workout. What's new in v0.4.0: Local-storage support Automatic pool-discovery fallback Kubernetes metadata now lives in Xen Orchestra VDI tags instead of the deprecated other_config. That change also drops the old requirement for Xen Orchestra 6.4 or newer, so the driver runs on more deployments now. ️ Read this before you upgrade. v0.4.0 is a breaking change. The Kubernetes metadata moved from other_config to VDI tags, so you must migrate before upgrading from v0.3.0. Do not upgrade in place: follow the v0.3.0 to v0.4.0 migration guide in the release notes, then move to v0.4.0. What helps us most is hearing how it behaves on your own setup: what works, what breaks, which storage backend you use, and which flavour of Kubernetes you run (k3s, full k8s, or something else). Edge cases on real clusters are the ones we don't see in our own testing. Where to report: start right here in this thread. It keeps everything visible to the community and lets others on the same setup jump in. If something turns out to be a reproducible bug, we'll move it to a GitHub issue on the repo so the team can track it to a fix. Release notes and migration guide: https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-csi-driver/releases/tag/v0.4.0

    File Restore Fails

    @NeilGrevitt Whilst migrating my other backups to NFS, I noticed that one of the VM backups is able to perform file restores successfully. The successful VM is Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, but has been upgraded multiple times and was originally a flavour of 18.x LTS somewhere along it's life. The unsuccessful VM is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS that I believe was installed at this version. The only difference I can see is the output of lvscan, which does point to an issue with LVM! Successful VM: :~$ sudo lvscan :~$ Unsuccesful VM: :~$ sudo lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv' [<19.00 GiB] inherit Not sure where to go now but thought it worth reporting!

    @mauzilla Just an FYI, I have not tested the latest Scale 22.12 RC1 for performance but the previous versions of scale under some conditions was quite a bit slower. I have a video covering this topic here with the benchmarks and methodology used for testing. https://youtu.be/BoiHHnBDg0E

    Thanks all for your comments. I've managed to overcome the NFS errors listed, by using the new "multiple data blocks" setting! So for me, looks like backing up to .vhd won't work on either SMB or NFS.

    You can "reset" delta on an CR on two methods ( I use the firs one ) : Set number of full backup interval, under Advanced settings (left down). And can be predicted as fallow Reset = full backup interval / number of delta per day. So for 4 deltas per day Reset = 21/4 = 5 rest 1, reset will be on day 6 on first backup. [image: 1668752674017-e6f37d80-9c7d-4d16-bdea-903612fc251e-image.png] [image: 1668752712035-9eb6c381-a130-4d27-9e10-cd441338c666-image.png] Or on schedule on Replication retention [image: 1668753256557-6ac7be5a-b462-4e57-89cf-f58f20e4a4b4-image.png] Force full backup is to force full backup on next run

    @Momi_V Thanks for providing details. New documented setups are helpful to others. I'm using this installer script on a Debian 11. (Thanks to @ronivay!). Not exactly a quick hands off deployment but it works well for me.

    Indeed, that's not "usual" if you comes from a purely Linux/KVM world, where the host is the entire machine.

    @MichaelCropper That's awesome! I'm glad the usual computer pixie dust fairies dropped by and fixed the issue for you. Poor Windows though... you initially laid the blame at their feet, but it seems more like this was a Google Chrome issue. I've noted a LOT of peculiarities with Google Chrome as of late and have started to migrate away for that reason. Reading a lot of forums on Reddit and other IT sources, this seems to be something that is pretty wide-spread. In any case, it's working for you now... until Google changes something again. LOL I hope you have a great weekend!

    Hi, I think it's used for file level restore on S3 enabled backup. It's not crucial as long as you don't need to restore individual files on S3, obviously. @julien-f is there a way to avoid this dep manually in order to build the rest of XO?

    @julien-f Hello ! Ok, not problem, I hope it will arrive soon in the UI Thank you for the command, I don't think I saw this command in the docs, maybe I can add it ^^ I will look, and I will make a PR if I found in which section I can add the command
