Our future backup code: test it!

flakpyro

@florent I am just running a "Delta Backup" to an NFS SR. I haven't rolled back yet so if there is any sort of logs i can provide let me know. This is my "home lab" at home where i test new versions of XOA and XCP-NG updates before we end up seeing new features in production with our full XOA appliance at work.

@florent The job is just Continuous Replication to another local host. These were normal hourly delta transfers.

Tristis Oris

Same. Delta, 2 threads, 2 runing, but jobs not cleared.

Continuous Replication failed with Error: HANDLE_INVALID(VDI, OpaqueRef:db811593-f18e-7d15-ea8a-465bf7a94917)

Rolled back and will stay there until this is fixed. Gave me heart attack....

@florent On a quick CR test, fix_nbd_progress works correctly for me.

@florent I have the current master (9a833) running now and it's working so far. No change in speed at this time (just testing CR delta).

I did notice that the active tasks show only one Export/NBD but I have 4 configured. I don't know if this is a task view issue (I guess I only need to see one) or a true 1x NBD export.

@florent Installed in the same test environment as last week, this time the backup ran successfully and the tasks cleared as usual. I will keep running this build over the next week but so far so good! I should note i am only running Delta backups at home. We use Delta + CR jobs in production at work but that is running full blown XOA. Is the plan to push this to XOA in the next monthly release?

Tristis Oris

Need to restart toolstack on each host after fix. Now all jobs dissapeared.
