      @buzzzo Double meeeep 😆

      On file level SR (ext, NFS, local ZFS, XOSAN), there is no space issue doing snapshots. Also, perfs are good even with snapshots if you don't have an asthmatic SR.

            I tested latest and greatest XO (5.24.1 from sources) with latest XCP-ng 7.5 (incl. xcp-ng-extra repo/ZFS). Backups do not work 😞

            If the VDI is on a ext-SR, all is fine, backup working.
            If the VDI is on a File-SR (ZFS based), the backup says "VDI_ERROR" or "VDI Chain to long". I will provide logfiles tomorrow if needed.

            Setup of my File-SR:
            xe sr-create host-uuid=<xxx> name-label=zfssr type=file other-config:o_direct=false device-config:location=/zfspool/zfssr

              VDI chain too long doesn't seems related. It means you have a VDI chain that's around 30 files.

              Can you provide the exact/detailed error log?

                  I searched in xensource.log, SMlog and syslog, no related entries found 😞

                  How can I increase the loglevel of XO?

                  Here's the log output if I start this job again:

                  It's nearly nothing...

                                      Thanks,
                                      I have found a suspected O_DIRECT here, the solution won't come quickly.

                                        Does this issue also have a role if you run glusterfs on top of zfs?
                                        Or is it just directly on zfs.

                                        Because i would want to runs glusterfs on top of zfs on a spearate server, and use glusterfs driver to connect to it.

                                        Do i also have this issue then?
