Xen Orchestra - Permissions Issue - File level restore

@Danp That was the other thing, that I installed yesterday.

libvhdi-utils

This would list if the packaged is installed, so how to pipe that output into the next part would be the question.

dpkg --get-selections | grep libvhdi-utils
libvhdi-utils                                     install

Danp

Found this code on the interweb. I would think either the 2nd or 3rd solution would work fine for our needs.

DustinB3403

Yeah, this might be the easiest solution...

if [ $(dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}' nano 2>/dev/null | grep -c "ok installed") -eq 0 ];
then
  apt-get install nano;
fi

Might need to throw up a flag or warning if the package can't be found though. Like in my case I had to add the universal repo to my debian installation before I could install libvhdi-util and fuse.

Danp

Should be able to check the exit code from apt-get. Now to wrap the whole thing into a nice little function that we can reuse in the future.

5.5.2 is out. Grab it while it's hot!

Hmmm, I am glad I didn't have time to futz with the other version!

I actually don't even have XO backups set up yet. Still doing agents from inside the VMs since it works awesomely and I just haven't had time to play with XO.

Danp

Yeah... usually best to wait a few days for them to work out any kinks before upgrading production systems.

DustinB3403

Upgraded and back to stable release.

Have you had any progress with the wrong fs type issue? Do you have a open issue ticket?

Danp

@DustinB3403 No. There's an active thread over on the XO forum. I was just getting ready to post over there. Think I may have found the cause.

DustinB3403

@Danp nice, post a link and I can test as well. I'm busy with another issue, so I'll have to play catch up.

Danp

@DustinB3403 Looks like Ubuntu has an older version of vhdimount in the repository. Can you post the output from vhdimount -V?

DustinB3403

vhdimount -V
vhdimount 20150110

@DustinB3403 That's not the latest version. You want the one from 20160424, which should resolve the issues with file restore.

Are you still built on Debian?

DustinB3403

@Danp Yes, still on Debian.

Danp

What's the best way to install the correct version? On Ubuntu, I can add one of these mirrors and install from there using apt-get.

Edit: I see that these repositories are for yakkety, and I'm still on xenial.

DustinB3403

@Danp a distro upgrade would likely be the easier approach. I'm performing this now on my system.

(first day back to work in 11-days!)
