@Danp It wasnt a VM. I dedicated a whole PC to debian and XO. But I was completely clueless as to what I was doing. I am off and running now though. Thank you

@raider600

Move the shared file to a NAS/SAN and map the drive letter to the clients?

An 8TB drive size is going to be all kinds of unhappy if you want to snapshot or backup that VM.

Exception to this might be a large database that needs fast access to the data, but even there I would expect some kind of shared storage to be at least as fast as a giant VM.

I understand. I've been thinking about it. But the windows VM would just see the VDI as a second disk. It will host quickbooks and office files with no virtual machines on the storage drive.

They said to test it, so I did. I may be a corner case, but its testing nonetheless. Worst case I could just do two different VDI's at 2TB each if i decide on xcp-ng.

@dinhngtu Thank you for your help. Please see this thread. https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/90424
I am using windows server 2025, with the new Alpha to remove the 2TB limit with qcows. I am experiencing a significant speed degradation using your drivers here and the 'official' Xen drivers. My post include videos with details.
My reason for testing this is, we are an SMB with a windows share of 8TB on a server. I would like to move to xcp-ng while being able to use this large volume for our file share. Any ideas?

This is solved. What I ended up doing was installing ubuntu and doing the whole install as root. Thanks for the help, I hope I can use XOA in the future!

@Danp Well I dont think I ever got to that step. haha. This is bumming me out. I want to use XOA. But I need proof of concept before we buy it.

@ph7 Thanks for that. but it didnt work. funny when trying to restart the xo-server.service it fails and says service not found. Im only trying to get it to run with yarn start in the packages/xo-server dir. Here is a screen shot of the networking tab in the developer window of the browser. looks like its missing some stuff. hah

@DustinB Ive restarted a few times though no dice. It's almost like something isnt unpacking or running.

In the URL does it show /v6 at the tail end?

Im just using the ip address. no https either. So no i dont think it has a v6 at the end. but im also not 100% sure i know what you mean. lol

@olivierlambert Thank you. I believe I found the server logs... I dont know where to find the build logs.

xo-server-logs [--json] [--limit=<limit>] [--since=<date>] [--until=<date>] [<pattern>...]

    Prints the logs.

    --json
      Display the results as new line delimited JSON for consumption
      by another program.

    --limit=<limit>, -n <limit>
      Limit the number of results to be displayed (default 100)

    --since=<date>, --until=<date>
      Start showing entries on or newer than the specified date, or on
      or older than the specified date.

      <date> should use the format \`YYYY-MM-DD\`.

    <pattern>
      Patterns can be used to filter the entries.

      Patterns have the following format \`<field>=<value>\`, \`<field>\` or \`!<field>\`.

xo-server-logs --gc

    Remove all but the ${GC_KEEP}th most recent log entries.

xo-server-logs --delete <predicate>...

    Delete all logs matching the passed predicates.

    For more information on predicates, see the print usage.

xo-server-logs --repair

    Repair/compact the database.

    This is an advanced operation and should be used only when necessary and offline (xo-server should be stopped).

Hello, I installed XO from source. My login page looks like this.

My terminal window stops here and never completes. I let it sit here all night hoping it was doing something. But nothing happened. I know there is more to the process after you start it.

I have tried many times

git pull --ff-only
yarn
yarn build

rm -rf node_modules
yarn
yarn build

I nuked the other VM after the first time this happened. So this is the second clean VM and I'm stuck. It's definitely not started all the way but I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Any ideas?

@Danp It wasnt a VM. I dedicated a whole PC to debian and XO. But I was completely clueless as to what I was doing. I am off and running now though. Thank you
