        @rtjdamen We are investigating it as well 🙂

        For the XO backend team, the next few months are focused on stabilization, bug fixes and maintenance 🙂

          @julien-f @florent @olivierlambert I'm using XO source master (commit c5f6b). Running Continuous Replication with NBD+CBT and Purge Snapshot. With a single (one) NBD connection on the backup job, things work correctly. With two NBD connections I see some Orphan VDIs left almost every time after the backup job runs. They are different ones each time.

            I noticed when migrating some VDIs with CBT enabled from one NFS SR another that the CBT only snapshots are left behind. Perhaps this is why a full backup seems to be required after a storage migration?

              @flakpyro i know from our other backup software we use that migrating cbt enabled vdi’s is not supported on xen, when u migrate between sr it will disable cbt on that vdi. This is causing a new full. This is by design

                @rtjdamen Makes sense, it would be nice is XOA cleaned up these small CBT snapshots though after a migration from one SR to another.

                  @flakpyro indeed, sounds like a bug. It should delete the snapshot, disable cbt and then migrate to the other sr.

                    I've been out of life for a while.
                    is it any known problem with CBT file restore?

                        @Tristis-Oris Is your backed up VM using LVM for it's root filesystem?

                                  Hi, I am running from the sources and I'm almost up to date (991b4) . Can anyone please tell me what this means "Error: can't create a stream from a metadata VDI, fall back to a base". Restarting the backup results in a full backup rather than an incremental.
                                  Thanks.

                                      Getting coalesce stuck on one SR, NFS share.
                                      After running a Continuous Replication job. When I use an internal SSD as the target this does not happen.

                                        Because you are writing faster in the VM than the garbage collector can merge/coalesce.

                                        You could try to change the leaf coalesce timeout value to see if it's better.

                                          @manilx we use belows values:

                                          /opt/xensource/sm/cleanup.py :

                                          LIVE_LEAF_COALESCE_MAX_SIZE = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 # bytes
                                          LIVE_LEAF_COALESCE_TIMEOUT = 300 # seconds

                                          Since then we do not see issues like these, leaf coalesce is different from normal coalesce when a snapshot is left behind. I think your problem is:

                                          
Problem 2:

Coalesce due to Timed-out:

Example:

Nov 16 23:25:14 vm6 SMGC: [15312] raise util.SMException("Timed out")

Nov 16 23:25:14 vm6 SMGC: [15312]

Nov 16 23:25:14 vm6 SMGC: [15312] *** UNDO LEAF-COALESCE

This is when the VDI is currently under significant IO stress. If possible, take the VM offline and do an offline coalesce or do the coalesce when the VM has less load. Upcoming versions of XenServer will address this issue more efficiently.

                                            I have been seeing this error recently. "VDI must be free or attached to exactly one VM" with quite a few snapshots attached to the control domain when I look at the health dashboard. I am not sure if this is related to the cbt backups but wanted to ask. It seems to only being happening on my delta backups that do have cbt enabled.
