      @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 🙂

              Rolling back

                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.

                          And I find the following in the log:

                          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.
