Backup to SMB remote still running
-
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
