      I am setting up a new set of servers, and have created a SMB remote on Windows Server 2022. I have three backup jobs running through XO; one for pool metadata, one that runs twice a day, and one that runs nightly. They are all going to the same remote.

      The one for the metadata works fine, every time.

      The other two will run for a day or two, then "hang up" with Started as the last run detail. When I switch over to the console of the XO, I see "CIFS: VFS: No writable handle in writepages rc=-9". Also, memory is pegged at 32GB. If I reboot the XO, they seem to run for a day or two more, then start getting the error again. This last time, the backup job that backs up 6 VMs finished, and the one that backs up 5 VMs is stuck.

      Any ideas? I am running the latest XO from source, on top of Ubuntu 24.04

        Diving into the OS, I found that the Crowdstrike Sensor was eating up all of the memory. I disabled it and was able to do a backup.

          Hi,

          Indeed, it's hard to assist in those case where we don't have any control what runs in the XO operating system 🙂 Glad you found the issue!

            Well.. unfortunately, that wasn't the only issue. The job that was scheduled for Friday night is still running and still receiving the CIFS error.

            Still digging..

              @yaroz it loosk like there is an issue with some error not stopping the job as expected, I am currently working on this

              In the meantime , you can restart XO , it will forcefully close all running jobs
