      Do you think is it implementable in the next release? 😁

          Of course only to have full RBD support! 🙂
          Mister Torvalds said 5 is not really a major release as there are any real breaking changes.
          He jokes about he just finished fingers in his hands and foots to give name to the kernel.
          So 5.3 is just 4 release upfront of the 4.19 and any big change.

          Probably 5.3 has a better hardware support than 4.19 and not so much more.

            It's a bit more complicated than that. In XCP-ng, we have to deal with blktap modules and other specific stuff. We'll see what Citrix will do and we'll advise.

              @maxcuttins current kernel supports RBD, which feature are you missing? I am using kernel RBD and it works OK

                "Exclusive Lock" is not included in the 4.19 kernel.
                So it is for "object-map" and "fast-diff".

                  Hello for info,
                  On DELL R630 E5-2620v3 after update Bios Version 2.10.5 & 2.11 the installation of XCP-NG 7.6 is OK but the installation of XCP-NG 8.0 causes a Kernel Panic. The open source Citrix Xenserver 8.1 version is OK. Is an update from XCP-NG 8.0 to 8.1 planned soon?
                  Cordially.

                    @jpb-multivision as usual, it takes a bit to "convert" CH to XCP-ng, then test it, add our packages, remove non-free (proprietary packages) from CH etc.

                    But yes, it will be there in Q1 2020.

                      Does nobody know what kernel will have?

                        CH 8.1 has the same kernel than 8.0.

                        So by default, will have the same too.
