Unable to display files in File Restore (failed to setup loop device)
-
So you are using "local" remote right?
Anyway, because you are using a 3rd party installer, I'm not really able to assist (because we can't "validate" those installer/updater while we are adding/removing stuff on our side).
- If you can't see the files for all your backup VMs, I would suggest to create an issue on the installer GitHub repo because it's mainly an "environment" issue
- If you can't see files only for this VM, then it's maybe your VM is not "like" the others
-
@olivierlambert Yep fair enough.
It's only that one VM so I guess it's that, I'll have a dig around.

Sorry, quick question just because it'll probably save me hours of googling
The log says
failed to setup loop device for /dev/debian-vg/rootIf I run lsblk -fs in the VM I get:
lsblk -fs NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT xvda1 ext2 728f3ff5-b4e4-4c49-8440-1afca3bedffb /boot └─xvda xvda2 └─xvda debian--vg-root ext4 e91dbbbe-5fc8-4631-8693-00fdea49cfcf / └─xvda5 LVM2_member 0IfZhR-hixh-FPMO-nvSc-EdMa-l3Fh-JCFyC3 └─xvda debian--vg-swap_1 swap 3e7fab19-8bb2-47da-bb16-a829010e1d51 [SWAP] └─xvda5 LVM2_member 0IfZhR-hixh-FPMO-nvSc-EdMa-l3Fh-JCFyC3 └─xvdaSo is it that XO is trying to mount /dev/debian-vg/root but it's actually /dev/debian--vg/root ??
EDIT: Nope, never mind:
simon@dashboard:/dev/debian-vg$ ls root swap_1Hmm.
EDIT2: If I run the same command in the VM I get:
simon@dashboard:/$ sudo mount --options=loop,ro --source=/dev/debian-vg/root --target=/tmp/tmp-751rBsQbj6YN1TI mount: mount point /tmp/tmp-751rBsQbj6YN1TI does not existSo is XO failing to create that first? I guess not as the error would probably indicate such
-
You other VMs also have LVM with a "--" in the LV name?
-
@olivierlambert One does, but that seems fine with the file restore...
-
To rule out a environment issue, you can try to same restore with XOA. If you have the issue too, it means there is a bug in XO. Otherwise, it's your install
-
@olivierlambert Well... I was just typing out a response about how I can select the smaller partition called Linux just fine but not the bigger partition called root, but when I clicked on root this time it loaded just fine....
Can't really explain that. I did reboot the VM again a bit ago, but I tried it straight after that and it still didn't work. Now a couple of hours later with no changes at my end it's fine. Odd!
-
Okay, well
We don't have a known issue with that on our support so I suppose it was "env" related -
@olivierlambert said in Unable to display files in File Restore (failed to setup loop device):

-
Okay, let us know. You can use the trial to unlock all features for 15 days, which is enough to test this
-
@olivierlambert Ohh I think I've already used it actually. I'll boot up the VM and check.
-
Let me know I can re-extend it
-
@olivierlambert Ah thanks, it has indeed expired. Is there any issue having both XO's running at the same time by the way?
-
No problem
I'll extend your trial -
Extended!
-
@olivierlambert Thanks for that. Well it seems fine in the main XO so I guess it's a problem with the community version, or at least my install of it (plus something to do with that single VM). Who maintains the community version?
-
There is no "maintenance" but community support if you follow how it's installed from our official documentation: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html
If you use something else (like a 3rd party script), then create an issue on the GH repo where you found the script
-
@olivierlambert Yep cool, thanks for your help
