XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

@stormi Minor issue: e1000e does not show driver version with ethtool:
# ethtool -i eth0 driver: e1000e version: firmware-version: 0.1-4 expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 0000:00:1f.6 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: yes -
@Greg_E It seems to handle it fine, i have 2 of these systems running without issue with 8.3!
-
@flakpyro No, I'm waiting for more feedback from the devs. All I have from them for now is it looks like either a firmware or a passthrough issue. I don't think we have changed anything to fix it.
-
@Andrew Thanks for noticing that. CC @ThierryEscande
-
@stormi @ThierryEscande I issued a PR for
intel-e1000eto add the version for ethtool. -
@stormi
My old i7 with e1000e is working fine (except the version not shoving) -
@Greg_E It works but it's not designed to work. I'm personally use a system like this at home (Protectli) and no issues so far after a rather intensive use.
-
@Andrew What does a regular linux distro output as a version for the driver? I've been told there's no version in the source code, so does it output anything?
-
@stormi It shows the kernel version, exactly what
uname -rwould. -
@stormi From Debian 11:
# ethtool -i enp0s25 driver: e1000e version: 5.10.0-34-amd64 firmware-version: 0.2-4 expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 0000:00:19.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: yes -
Updated my Lab pool consisting of 2 Nodes this morning
Rebooted master first, then slave. No issues VMs migrated between reboots.
Couldn't see any issue til now. -
Updates done on 1x Intel and 1x AMD host, rebooted, no visible issues.
