:
Can you explain why?
Of course only to have full RBD support!
Mister Torvalds said 5 is not really a major release as there are any real breaking changes.
He jokes about he just finished fingers in his hands and foots to give name to the kernel.
So 5.3 is just 4 release upfront of the 4.19 and any big change.
Probably 5.3 has a better hardware support than 4.19 and not so much more.

Wow... however I got lost.
This is far too high to my knowledge.
However... are you comparing local disk with local disk (in order to avoid networks related bottleneck)?
@stormi said in Citrix Hypervisor 8.0 landed:
People are watching me, such honour and responsibility!
I told you that people of the forum are "the watchmens".
It's even easier if you have subscribed the notification on GitHub on the project.
Hi Everybody,
working with Xen since 2009, and with a private cluster since 2012.
In the past I wrote part of the installation of the RBDSR plugin in order to allow Xen to connect to Ceph!
Now I would like to contribute to run Ceph natively on XCP-ng
Thanks for this project!
We can make it together!

Hi everybody,
I was thinking that a Dev community should have better tools to debug and log issue rapidly and share them within the forum or on the github issue deck.
About that did you use some good log reader or did you use just "grep | less" to read the LOG?
Maybe we can improve the debug with a home-made-tool that make grep/cat/less more readable and give to it time/hour/date search function and few more. The best will be a quick online tool maybe within the XENCENTER?
Probably there are already these kind of tools around.
What do you think about this?
@stormi is it already started the dev of the 7.6?
@stormi not really I would say.
I'm stick to version 8.0 and I'm planning to upgrade.
So I'm trying to understand which kernel I'll find in the next release.
PS: Upgrade is a pain because I need to remember that CEPH NBD share storage are not preserved during upgrade and so, those config file will be erased, I'll need to restore in order to have back my VDIs.
what is the kernel version of the latest XCP-ng?
@stormi Is it impossible to run it with old guest tools?
I see many VMs that run old guest tools without issues.
I see that CH8.2 will not support anymore Windows7.
This seems a wrong move.
I guess that XCP-ng will lose Windows7 support too
Can you please confirm?
@olivierlambert said in XCP 8.1 with Kernel 5.3 :
@jpb-multivision as usual, it takes a bit to "convert" CH to XCP-ng, then test it, add our packages, remove non-free (proprietary packages) from CH etc.
But yes, it will be there in Q1 2020.
Does nobody know what kernel will have?
@petr-bena said in XCP 8.1 with Kernel 5.3 :
@maxcuttins current kernel supports RBD, which feature are you missing? I am using kernel RBD and it works OK
"Exclusive Lock" is not included in the 4.19 kernel.
So it is for "object-map" and "fast-diff".
