      This is clearly not a client issue, but a host issue (or a XVA problem).

      Why using force with xe by the way? Let's talk with xe only which is the safest best.

      1. When you start the import, is there a task created?
      2. Check the usual logs (xensource.log)

        @olivierlambert Yes, a task is created (in XOA), which never ends.

        With xe vm-import it creates a VM in yellow state, but never progresses beyond that.

        I just setup a fresh install of Ubuntu 20, I'll export it and try and re-import it as XVA.

                @olivierlambert It's showing 1% but not doing much beyond that.

                  Anything happening in xensource or SMlog?

                    @olivierlambert Nothing out of the ordinary. Still 1%.

                      Then you have an issue on the storage or in the XVA file itself.

                        @olivierlambert it's definitely not the storage, will try a different XVA to isolate.

                          @olivierlambert Are there any compatibility issues, i.e. say exporting a XVA with an older version of XCPng and trying to import with a newer version?

                            No known issue with XVA import. Nor any recent tickets about this kind of problem.

                              @olivierlambert Thanks your comments got me thinking, it could be the NFS mount connection is dropping out; trying a test now to mount it via fstab in XCPng.

                                @olivierlambert here's another clue. If I mount my local CIFS share onto the XCPng host, after a while I cannot do

                                cd /mnt
                                ls -la
                                # it just hangs here.  I have to kill the SSH session and SSH back in
                                

                                This only happens after mounting the CIFS share the very first time after boot.

                                Thoughts?

                                    That's your problem: fix your storage (reboot your host to see), and then import will work 🙂

                                      @olivierlambert Hah, indeed it was! CIFS is totally unstable, but I was able to get NFS working with these configs:

                                      mount -o vers=3,soft,mountproto=tcp [IP]:/share /mnt/nfs_share/backup.xva
