    @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

    @olivierlambert Yea, I have bonded networks. I do rename them so that I know what they are for. It seems that the bond number (bond 1 and bond 0) changes on different servers, as I asked about before, so the name and description is needed here to make it easier.

    @pdonias yep I can confirm that works as expected, cloud-init uses the base VM name specified in the top of the create VM page, not the numbered VM names that result after creation. Nevermind!

    Hi @RaHu! No, at the moment, we don't synchronize hosts' information. I'm not even sure where that information could go as there isn't such a thing as a host object in Netbox, AFAIK.

    @Andrew Wanted to go ahead and add that it didn't seem slow to me to do the export, it was only 2GB, but still. It did take a bit to ramp up speed though, I got 4.5KB downloaded and then it sat there for a few minutes, but once it started downloading more data it sped up and the whole 2GB download was done in like 1-2 minutes, not crazy fast but not super slow either. I will try and test this with a bigger VM when I get the chance to see how it behaves.

    @olivierlambert Well, you were right, I was totally in the wrong folder without realizing it. However, after the rebuild it now won't start at all. Rebuilding the VM and restoring config is easy though (thanks to XO being so easy to use) so I might just do that to avoid confusion as this VM has some other issues unrelated to XO anyway.

    @Danp Good catch, can't believe I missed that. Unfortunately, that produced a new error; Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_77 Error parameters: , Logical Volume group creation failed, From some googling around it appears the issue is that the disks still have a zfs_member tag on them. lsblk -f produces this: NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT sdd zfs_memb ├─sdd2 zfs_memb data 305869021769108511 └─sdd1 zfs_memb sdb linux_ra localhost:127 1d7d1927-dfdb-c8a8-4af1-b25c2b355a7a └─md127 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p5 ext3 logs-efkbam 0deeb614-6788-45f9-92b7-0f6acc05da6d /var/log ├─md127p3 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p1 ext3 root-efkbam 62e0f462-29f8-4c2a-8df7-bed45c144a4a / ├─md127p6 swap swap-efkbam 26a6ce99-d4fd-43d1-8a27-79bddafb8707 [SWAP] ├─md127p4 vfat BOOT-EFKBAM 0B9B-C4C7 /boot/efi └─md127p2 sde zfs_memb ├─sde2 zfs_memb data 305869021769108511 └─sde1 zfs_memb sdc linux_ra localhost:127 1d7d1927-dfdb-c8a8-4af1-b25c2b355a7a └─md127 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p5 ext3 logs-efkbam 0deeb614-6788-45f9-92b7-0f6acc05da6d /var/log ├─md127p3 zfs_memb boot-pool 17799519329276801846 ├─md127p1 ext3 root-efkbam 62e0f462-29f8-4c2a-8df7-bed45c144a4a / ├─md127p6 swap swap-efkbam 26a6ce99-d4fd-43d1-8a27-79bddafb8707 [SWAP] ├─md127p4 vfat BOOT-EFKBAM 0B9B-C4C7 /boot/efi └─md127p2 sda └─sda1 So it appears my next step is sorting that out. Unfortunately the only way of clearing these tags that I've found so far seems to be wiping the drives completely and starting over? If so that's going to suck as I don't have physical access to the machine right now. If anyone has any suggestions for removing errant zfs_member tags (this machine previously hosted a TrueNAS install) without wiping the whole damn machine, I'd be eager to hear them. If not it'll have to wait until I'm back in the office I guess. Thank you again @Danp for your help.
