Create VM Error SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_1200, No such Tapdisk.

geoffbland

Checking the code of blktap2.py on github and what I have on my system and I can see that they are subtly different.

I note last change to blktap2.py on github was 6th April 2020, I installed XCPNG November last year but I had recently been testing with the new XOSTOR. Checking the date of blktap2.py I find that it is 24th May 2022 so possibly this is a bug with the latest XOSTOR release?

@olivierlambert Is it possible to rollback to a "standard" version of XCP-NG on these servers? I did a quick search to see if there was a way to rollback to a given XCP-NG version but did not find anything specific.

I think it is, but @ronan-a should help you with this.

@geoffbland You can downgrade your sm version on each host using:

yum downgrade sm-2.30.6-1.1.xcpng8.2.x86_64

But I'm not sure if your problem is related to the sm linstor version.

There is this error during the tapdisk open call: Permission denied (errno 13).
Are you sure you can access correctly to the data of your SR?

The last exception is caused in blktap2.py:

                    try:
                        tapdisk = cls.__from_blktap(blktap)
                        node = '/sys/dev/block/%d:%d' % (tapdisk.major(), tapdisk.minor)
                        util.set_scheduler_sysfs_node(node, 'noop')
                        return tapdisk
                    except:
                        TapCtl.close(pid, minor)
                        raise

I'm pretty sure I can...

Why is R/W access needed on the ISO SR?

geoffbland

All the access rights to the isos looked OK on the remote server but just to check I wiped the share. Recreated it and copied back the isos. In then recreated the SR in XCP-ng and now it works. It had all been working fine and I had not changed anything on the share - it just stopped working. So please consider this fixed now - looks like some weird issue with the mount and not a problem with XCP-ng - sorry for wasting your time looking at this.

@geoffbland No problem. It's the first time I see this error with tapdisk (and it's it's even more surprising to have it on this type of SR...).

In this case, maybe there was a problem with the XAPI, a lock on the device or something else. Not easy to find the cause without remote access. Don't hesitate to ping us if this problem comes back.
