The outdated flag is removed automatically after a short delay if there is no issue with the network.

Do you still have this flag?

Sorry about the long delay in this response - unfortunately I have been busy with work and so not able to spend much time looking at this. But two weeks later after the Outdated volume is still present. As far as I can tell there was no issue with the network.

I wiped the install again and could get DRDB in the same state again by creating a few VMs each with several disks and then deleting the VMs - eventually the issue occurs again.

I have since wiped again and done a fresh XCPNG install - this time with a dedicated network (separate NICs and private switch) for data and I'll see how that goes.

Like I said in my e-mail, maybe there are more details in another log file. I hope.

In the end I realised I was more trying to "use" XOSTOR whilst testing rather than properly test it. So I decided to rip it all down and start again and retest it again - this time properly recording each step so any issues can be replicated. I will let you know how this goes.

Just a note to say how well-designed the XO user interface is. No UI is perfect but XO does seem very well designed, things kind of just work the way you expect them to - that sometimes seems to be hard to achieve.

I just noticed a nice touch today; if you restore a VM from backup it automatically gets given a "restored from backup" tag. To me, things like this show that someone is thinking carefully about how the UI is used.

@stevezemlicka Thanks for mentioning this and reporting your "mistake" on the forums. I had been banging my head against the wall for a day before finding this post and realising the obvious.
