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

                    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.

                      @florent should be able to explain the meaning.

                        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] *

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.

                                @olivierlambert Actually I don't think this is the case. The VM's are completely idle doing noting.

                                  @rtjdamen VM's are idle (there is no doubt here).
                                  Will try these values and see how it goes.

                                      I changed /opt/xensource/sm/cleanup.py as per your settings and rebooted (perhaps bot needed).

                                      Looks good. Coalesce finished! Wonder why it did fail, as there was no load on hosts/vm's/nas share....

                                      Will monitor.

                                          @manilx nope, but i have talked with a dev about it and they are looking to make it a setting somewhere, don’t know the status of that. Good to see this works for you!

                                            @manilx I have not tested that, but I would say that's correct. Upgrades are rather destructive for custom changes to system scripts and custom settings. This is to ensure that scripts and settings are set to standard known good values on install or upgrade.

                                            I keep notes on my custom settings/scripts/configs so I can check them after an upgrade or a new install.
