@jefftee I prefer Alpine Linux.

@indyj The problem appears to be in the 5.15 kernel as well but the workaround seems to fix the issue.

@indyj The file restore issue was due to installing XO on FreeBSD (fine for VM restores, not file extraction).

I then installed XO on Ubuntu 20, and this worked for restoring files from Linux VMs but not Windows VMs.
Then I installed on CentOS 8 and had the same problem as Ubuntu.

I then installed on Fedora 34 and everthing works fine.

@indyj So I went to the logs and pasted the command directly into the shell. while the vhd file does exist the mount point does not.

The command assumes a temporary directory within /tmp that is not getting created by the script.

If I create the directory and paste the command into the shell the vhd does mount.

Thanks for the tips.
When I try to restore an individual file from the server using ZFS compression & dedupe XOA gives me an error: "Error while scanning disk"

I'm wondering if the compression or dedupe is the likely cause. My money is on the Deduplication. Any thoughts on this?

Not being a ZFS expert here is an oddity: I have two old servers I use for backups. One is NFS with XFS filesystem (testing XO backups). The second is NFS with ZFS.

I copied my data from the server with XFS to the one using ZFS via rsync: A 17 Terabyte NFS/XFS share used only approximately 7 Terabytes on the ZFS server.

However If I backup data via XO to the NFS share on the ZFS system I don't seem to save space compared to backing up to NFS on the XFS filesystem.

I'm using lz4 compression & Dedupe on the ZFS system..

I'm testing XO. I have an NFS server with ZFS (compression + deduplication enabled).

Would backing up to this nfs share cause problems for backups & restores?

@indyj May this is your issue? https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1137&nbn=1

For those who install the kernel-ml from Elrepo: I tested this on all my CentOS 7/8 VMs: The results were mixed, the procedure worked on about half of them. Proceed with Caution.

Update:
This same issue has found its way into Fedora 34 in the stock kernel. No special repos, just "dnf update" and it happened. Could this affect the entire 5.14 series?

@danp That is the very problem I'm having. Thanks for looking that up!

I have been unable to get elrepo kernel 5.14 installed and booting on my CentOS 7/8 XCP VMs.
I can however get the Kernel installed on other platforms just not Xen (xcp) VMs.
Is anyone having this issue or heard anything about it?
