Last one for the day!
Can you explain what these log items on the backup mean? I think I may have found a bug there, too.
vm.rollingBackup: tag: test with compression _reportWhen: never depth: 2 remoteId: remote-10 onlyMetadata: compress: VM: XenOrchestra (xenserver-MAIN) true
-
Basic backup with tag "test", compression enabled, never report any failure or success by email, retention of 2. Saving on "remote10". All of this on vm XO hosted on xenserver-MAIN.

How did you know compression was enabled?

Just guessing that "with compression"

That was the name of my job.
"test with compression"

Ah, 2nd guess, compress:

Both the jobs with and without compression both say "compress:"
I'm wondering if it was supposed to say
"compress:yes"
or something.Which is why I am wondering if it is a bug.

Sounds likely that something is wrong there.

I can't tell if I am reporting things that have already been fixed, or not.
This has nothing to do with me. It's my inexperience with GitHub.
These are the two responses I received.
Closed #1338 via bd70bd2.
Closed #1339 via #1347.Does the top one mean it was a new fix? And the bottom one mean they were aware already?
-
Closed means the issue is "finished": without extra comment or specific tag (like duplicate, invalid or won't fix), it means that's solved.
You can follow links to see what fixed the issue (in the "via #1347" or the commit hash).
TL;DR: issues fixed. Will be released in the "next wagon".

Right, but I was "afraid" of posting stuff you already knew about.
So "via 1347" means there was already an issue similar, and the fix was the same?
What does the hex link mean?
Thanks for another day of education!
-
The hex link refers to the commit.
Issue #1338 was fixed in commit bd70bd2.

Clicking on those link won't destroy the universe: go click and see where are you going
One send you to a Pull Request (PR), a piece of code written by someone and send "sent for review". Julien (lead dev) checked the diff (code modified) and then merged it in the
next-releasebranch.The other link directly to a commit fixing the issue
edit: a PR can embed multiple commits

I did click and still didn't get it.
I am sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
-
I don't get what you don't get about this ^^
-
@olivier ... did you see the comment about regarding
compression:
being the same for both jobs?
How did you know I had compression enabled, other than it was in my tag?

Did you miss the part where I said I was slow?
Somewhere @scottalanmiller is shaking his head in agreement.
So #1347 and the hex are not others already reporting it. They are the code snippets to fix it.
I'm just trying not to make extra work for you guys. But am happy to report things if they are real issues.

How does XO deal with hotfixes such as this one, where there are specific steps/rules that must be followed before applying?
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX214305
Mainly:
"In contrast to other XenServer updates, it is important to avoid suspending VMs when applying this hotfix."Or does XO not even suspend anything. I know it's pretty durn smart.
-
@BRRABill With such an important update, I would apply it via XC, manually shutdown the VMs, then reboot the hosts.
