filelevel restore with XFS and LVM

[henri9813]

Hello,

I try to restore file using file level restore.

My VM has an XFS filesystem over LVM.

Here is the log of the Xen-orchestra container:

Do you know why I have theses errors ?

Best regards

Hey,

I've seen some issues with LVM file restore in the past on XO, i'd suggest checking their forum for similar cases.

The error in this case suggests that the VG name where you're trying to restore from might be conflicting with a VG on your host where the container is running.

[henri9813]

Oh you right, then, that's a beautiful limitation because my host is a vm ( like the other one ) and come from the same installation process, so, same VG ^^'

[ronivay]

Yeah that's slightly annoying but makes sense as XO has to mount the disk to be able to fetch anything from it. As this cannot be done inside the container, anything on the host will have the potential to conflict.

I will try to create a new VM for my XO without LVM etc... .

I come back to share the results :)

Hello,

I deploy a fresh xo without lvm, now, I have this error:

mount: /tmp/wh2o7uxhqzq: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'.

But it seems related to vatesfr/xen-orchestra#7029
