          I tested latest and greatest XO (5.24.1 from sources) with latest XCP-ng 7.5 (incl. xcp-ng-extra repo/ZFS). Backups do not work 😞

          If the VDI is on a ext-SR, all is fine, backup working.
          If the VDI is on a File-SR (ZFS based), the backup says "VDI_ERROR" or "VDI Chain to long". I will provide logfiles tomorrow if needed.

          Setup of my File-SR:
          xe sr-create host-uuid=<xxx> name-label=zfssr type=file other-config:o_direct=false device-config:location=/zfspool/zfssr

            VDI chain too long doesn't seems related. It means you have a VDI chain that's around 30 files.

            Can you provide the exact/detailed error log?

                I searched in xensource.log, SMlog and syslog, no related entries found 😞

                How can I increase the loglevel of XO?

                Here's the log output if I start this job again:

                Aug 15 01:10:35 ubuntu xo-server[616]: 2018-08-14T23:10:35.241Z xo:xapi Snapshotting VM pmg as [XO Backup test] pmg

                It's nearly nothing...

                          @borzel I'm not very familiar with github wikis, but I think you can do pull requests against the wiki.

                                @borzel I am struggling to match the error lines in your log with a source code, can you tell me what version of vhd-tool you have installed please ? (yum info vhd-tool)

                                    Thanks,
                                    I have found a suspected O_DIRECT here, the solution won't come quickly.

                                      Does this issue also have a role if you run glusterfs on top of zfs?
                                      Or is it just directly on zfs.

                                      Because i would want to runs glusterfs on top of zfs on a spearate server, and use glusterfs driver to connect to it.

                                      Do i also have this issue then?
