    @Danp I was going to do the upgrade over the December / January Christmas break in Australia but that is when this issue became apparent so we didn't want to be making major changes until it was resolved. I note @anthoineb noted the first report was late August / September 2025 which was just before 8.2.1 reached EOL, so it would be a shame not to have a fix for it tested on 8.2.1 as it seems an upgrade to 8.3 would be unwise while we still have this issue?

    @laszlobortel since we are generating the stream sequentially, we though that there wasn't any real world gain. Also, if my understanding is correct using one thread means we will have only one process( + xo + nbdkit-vddk) processes , and we were trying to limit the risk of zombie process locking the disks , which was far too common with the previous code we'll do a quick test to ensure it does not beak anything and propose either a better default of a configuration option note that this will be a concurrency per disk, so VM with a lot of disk will put more pressure on the source

    @tsukraw I think the bottleneck is indeed the tapdisk and smapiv1. We have full 10Gb WDM between nominal and DR site, and get the same transfer speeds as you on CR. [image: 1779779566351-c860aa15-c649-4608-91f9-0cec88645218-image.jpeg]

    Backing up the backup

    Doing a bit more hunting it seems like if we could get Arcserve to use the nolock option then that would likely solve the problem, but there's nowhere to add any options and the Arcserve Proxy itself uses the Windows NFS client behind the scenes. Right now we've worked around the problem by creating a separate, read-only SMB share pointing to the same location and using that for Arcserve instead. Our only concern now is what could happen if XO starts a job while Arcserve is still doing its own backup. Edit: I did a bit more Googling after posting the above and came across this thread: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/nfs-the-process-cannot-access-the-file-because-another-process-has-locked.12644/ ... which suggests that it's actually a long-standing TrueNAS bug. Buried within the comments is this suggestion: If you're having trouble with the NFS locking mechanism, and you would like to use the "NET USE" command, or the [WNetAddConnection] function to mount a NFS share without locking, there's an undocumented registry entry hidden in the NFSNP.DLL: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Client for NFS\CurrentVersion\Users\Default\Mount" REG_DWORD "Locking" If the value is "0x0" then locking will be disabled globally. If the value is "0x1" then locking will ben enabled globally. We'll test it and report back.

    @cbaguzman hi, you could try a hard mount instead of soft, then it should constantly retry until it sees the mount again https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.6?topic=considerations-nfs-hard-soft-mounts

    @olivierlambert said in XO console keyboard on iOS and iPadOS - no input possible: No but it doesn't mean this won't be solved with a virtual keyboard anyway It would need to be able to trigger the built in iPad / iPhone keyboard for it to be properly usable.

    Whenever a server or pool is needed, so the field doesn't stay empty and requires manual selection. For example, when creating a new VM, the screen is empty with one line: Create new VM on: [pull down] The same goes for some other items but I don't click nearly as much so in particular for creating new VM's it would save some time if a default could be configured. Thanks!

    @olivierlambert thanks. I do understand the console not intended to be Remote Desktop but more of the "I really need access" type of service. Tools like NX and any desk you give a very nice Remote Desktop experience but the virtual graphics card (framework?) Limits what those tools can provide for Remote Desktop. I'll take your advice and check into UDS enterprise.

    @oryon-br I didn't get any more help on this and I couldn't find any solutions so I ended up rebuilding the pool to fix this issue. Not ideal.

    The issue is to snapshot the VM while there's USB passthrough. Offline backup might work, please try.

    Hello, Did you manage to make it work with a static addressing network ? I tried this (where myip and mygateway are replaced by real values) network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: eth0 subnets: - type: static address: myip/24 gateway: mygateway with no success. and as I don't have an IP assignated and theses cloud images are passwordless by default I can't event log in from the console to troubleshoot.
