        @florent Just installed latest build. Same errors.
        Dashboard/Health no errors.

          @florent I just upgraded to latest build as a test again. As no new news here I'm hoping that one update will fix this.
          Anyway tested a backup and got the error again:

          ScreenShot 2024-06-20 at 13.57.39.png

          2 out of 10 VM's

          But I found another clue, when trying to delete the backups I see that on those failed VM's I get TWO backups in the list, instead of just one I've started!!!

          Again: Xen Orchestra, commit 31461 Master, commit 16ae1 is last working build.

            @florent @manilx @olivierlambert I have these failures too. I find the VDI attached to the control domain as a leftover from Continuous Replication. If I remove the dead VDI then backups work again. The problem is on going as I do CR every hour and sometimes it leaves one or more (random) dead VDI attached to the Control Domain.

            I'm waiting for florent to push a XO CR fix before I update to the latest XO. But I don't expect the problem to be resolved in the latest XO update.

                @manilx They get stuck for me on Delta Backups too (not just CR).

                Sometimes I have to do a Restart Toolstack to free it.

                Check for running tasks that are stuck. Or try a Restart Toolstack on the master (it normally does not hurt anything to do that just to try it).

                  Hi,

                  We added 2 fixes in latest commit on master, please restart your XAPI (to clear all tasks), and try again with your updated XO 🙂

                      Can you try without any previous snapshot?

                        @olivierlambert I reverted to previous version and backups OK.
                        Then I updated again, deleted all snapshots (had to wait a while for garbage collection) and run fresh backups:

                        1st full: backup progress bars not updating, staying at 0% (I can only check progress by seeing data written to the NAS). Backup finished OK using NBD.

                        next delta: also run OK, without progress and all VM's showed ' cleanVm: incorrect backup size in metadata'

                        So, some progress 😉 progress bars are really missing now 😞

                        Speed still saturating the 2,5G management interface, so good.

                          @olivierlambert P.S. After delta backup I have all VM's with 'Unhealthy VDIs' waiting to coalesce but no Garbarge Collection job running.....

                          running cat /var/log/SMlog | grep -i coalesce on host gives:

                            @olivierlambert After 15min still nothing. No coalesce. Even after rescanning storage.

                            So still something broken.

                            Will revert as I need backups working reliably.......

                              @olivierlambert I had to reboot hosts to remove the Unhealthy VDIs.

                                @olivierlambert Each time I tried the new version(s) and I had trouble with coalesce stopping to work I have to reboot the hosts to get things going.

                                When there are entries with .cbtlog coalesce stops. These are created by the new NBD/CBT backups and somehow are left over....

                                After a reboot all works when these disappear.
