Potential bug with Windows VM backup: "Body Timeout Error"
-
Sorry it's back.
Just to line things up for whoever picks this up: the original full-backup Body Timeout was tracked in https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/pull/6786 and shipped with the March 2026 8.3 updates, so what you're seeing on metadata backups might be a cousin rather than the same bug.
From Olivier's earlier note the error just means XO got nothing from the pool master for 5 minutes mid-transfer, so the useful question is what the master was doing during that silence.
The fact that a toolstack restart clears it for a while and then it returns is probably itself a clue.
Could you grab the complete logs from one failed metadata run (the ask pierrebrunet made earlier), plus a rough note of whether it lines up with the master being busy or briefly unreachable?
I'm out of my depth on the internals, but that's the piece the team will want.
