Ok. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Well I have not had any issues since the 9th which is when I disabled Vinchin Backups. However, my count did not go down since then either.

@olivierlambert Should I not worry about deleting any more of the extra 0B disk listed on the SR page Disks tab and just watch the number on this page?

@olivierlambert Thank you. It's just that the host that some of these VMs are on is disconnecting the SR from the host. So I have been shutting them down and moving them to another host and powering back on. I was just hoping I could finish the coalesce for them manually to prevent unknown downtimes.

@olivierlambert What entry would I look for to see a successful and/or failed Coalesce? I'm looking at the SMlog.

@olivierlambert So the count has gone down to 25. The host that all of these servers were on of course disconnected from the SR again. Is there a way to run the Garbage Collection and/or Coalesce on one host only? I was thinking if I move the VMs one at a time over to a host that has nothing else on it I could run that against a powered off VM to clean it up. Then move it to another host and power it back on. Then to the next and next until it's all cleaned up. Does that make sense?

I don't know if this helps from the SMlog

What does this mean exactly? When will this happen? I'm sorry I am very nervous.

I deleted the snapshot from this one vm.

However, that one remains in the list on here:

@olivierlambert Dang ok. I waited a few minute then clicked the Connect in XOA for that host and it connected. Not sure what to do really.

I rebooted the pool master. Even though it looks like it came up ok it is not connected to storage. In xcp-ng center it is showing a red X for the SR and this is the errors in dmesg.
