      Is xo going to support smart host reboot in the community version?
      Will smart reboot then also work with nfs shares that are still open? Now if I want to reboot the host I have to first disconnect all the nfs share, then shut down the vm's and then reboot the host.

        All XO features are available in the Github/source version, it's true Open Source not Open Core 🙂 (which is indeed more difficult to make money with, but we always try to stick on our philosophy, and give our work for free to everyone).

          Ok thanks for your response. I understand your "making money" but, as a simple home user, am very happy with the open source and philosophy behind it. Of course, whenever possible, I advise companies to look at xcp-ng and xen-orchestra and get a subscription. Great what you guys are doing.

          Greetings,

            No worries, I was just telling that you shouldn't have to worry about an XO feature not being available on Github 🙂

              @olivierlambert 🙂 ok.

              For info: xo-server 5.113.0 / xo-web 5.116.1 Installed this version XO yesterday and tried a smart reboot with 14 vm's running. Windows and linux vm's. Of which some linux vm's have NFS shares which I use for ISO files and making backups with XO. These I normally have to disconnect before I can do a reboot of the host otherwise it will not reboot and had expected that this would not be necessary now. It took a very long time for all vm's to enter suspend mode (>2 hours) and the server did not reboot. Probably ran into not shutting down the NFS shares. I finish much faster if I manually shut down all vm's (and disconnect the NFS shares) reboot the host and restart the vm's. But maybe I am overlooking something then I would like to hear about it.
