      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:

            It's nearly nothing...

              @borzel > The error is often in the Settings->Logs panel in XO in this case

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

                                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?
