      @LPJon not at all! It's just that the only tested environment is XOA. From the sources, you have to rely on community or yourself if you have problems. It's impossible to test on all platforms, that's why XOA is recommended for production 🙂

      Also, bugs could happen into XO itself, on master branch (which shouldn't to often because we use features branches), but there's no guarantees 🙂

        @txsastre that's exactly how I got it, no worries 😉 Having users on master branch helps to find bugs that we won't have to discover during QA phase before a XOA release 🙂

        In this case, it's might be related to the guessVhdsize variable or something like that.

          @olivierlambert I have looked into that with no success. I'm not sure if you just change that variable to false or if you just comment it out completely. I have tried both but neither had an affect on my situation. It seems the guessVhdsize variable is related to working with an nfs share for the remote which I don't have.

          More or less you saying that this could be a bug in the master branch of XOCE but that XO is not showing this issue? What branch could I switch to that might be more stable?

            1. No, guessVhdSize is NOT related to the remote, but to the way we send data to the destination server. Double check you enabled it correctly and restart XO after the modification.
            2. No, I'm not saying this. Also, there's no stable branch on the sources, if you want something tested and stable, it's XOA 🙂

              @olivierlambert It came enabled by default with the upgrade to 5.51.1. What I might be having issues with is how to disable it the proper way for testing. I don't see anywhere where is says how to disable it, only how to enable it since there were failures happening with it disabled...lol. That's a tongue twister, anyway do you have any suggestions or might this be a question for Julien?

                I have no idea, guessVhdSize is only an intuition on my side. I'm pinging @julien-f who will try to answer Monday 🙂

                  @LPJon Like all settings from config.toml and sample.config.toml, you can override it in your user config (probably /etc/xo-server/config.toml?):

                  guessVhdSizeOnImport = false

                    @julien-f Ok....thanks Olivier and Julien. Changing that setting in that way had no effect on the issue. You have any idea what would cause this from one version to the other. XCP-ng is version 7.5 with a second local storage repository.

                      Hello,
                      I experience this problem with CR job. xo-server 5.51.1
                      I revent xo-server 5.50.1. No problem with this version.

                      I found these errors in xensource.log. maybe not related:

                        Could this be related to this: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/4640?

                            @txsastre I'm taking snapshot of XO vm before every update. Simple revent it.

                            Because it is from source so I have no support subscription. I recommend this to you.

                              @rizaemet-0 thanks you've got the right. I already doing this, but I didn't know if you uninstalled it and installed a previous version.

                              it was just curiosity. So I'm gonna rollback to a previous snapshot too.

                              Thank you

                                  @Danp thanks ! but I have rolled back to a previous version ( 5.50.1) and now I'm testing the backup again.

I order to locate the footer in a VHD file or stream, the total length
of that file or stream must be known. This commit passes it when it is
known. This depends on a corresponding change in the ocaml-vhd library.

                                      I saw this note relating to ZFS: It is not yet possible to import, migrate or export a VDI to/from a ZFS SR

                                      Could that be why my continuous replication is failing? I'm trying to replicate from one ZFS SR to another on a different server.

                                        No, since few release, ZFS should support all operations.

                                          That's too bad. I don't see where anyone really had any solution.

                                            Your CR issue might be related to a XO bug on master, not too a XCP-ng issue 😉
