You should be able to reboot now and see what happens.

the host or the VM's?

DustinB3403

should I restart the xs-tools or the entire thing?

wirestyle22

@DustinB3403 Are your VM's currently functional or are they greyed out?

They are working, have been the whole time.

@DustinB3403 I figured, just checking.

Might need to migrate to my backup server (14.9TB) and rebuild this host.

What is it you are trying to recover? Is this a database?

XS host.

How did you find the error?

DustinB3403

XO backups were failing, researched the error and then found it. (xenserver forums)

DustinB3403

I may have to migrate the VM's to my backup host and then rebuild this host...

Reboot host and see if that fixes it?

How many bad inodes did it find?

@dafyre What are the chances that the server won't restart properly?

~~It shouldn't considering it's no longer kicking back errors~~

Just saw the amount. Def taking this one back.

If it found just a few bad ones, it won't be a big deal, but if it found a lot, yeah, I'd live migrate the VMs off before rebooting, lol.

Yeah I didn't know it was that fargone. That's a lot.

BRRABill

Is the boot drive on the same drive as the VMs?

Danp

@BRRABill Good point. I thinks he's booting from a USB. Couldn't he rebuild on a new USB and then reintroduce the existing local storage?

I was thinking that would be a lot easier to try than migrating 14TB of data.

DustinB3403

Yes the boot device is USB.

I can do this, assuming the underlying storage is reliable enough.

Any concerns or recommendations on doing so?

I'd be introducing the existing SR's back into the USB xs install.
