Public bug reported: We are unable to take backups of Generation 2 VMs because they include a FAT 32 EFI partition. This patch ignores such partitions while freezing the file-system to take a snapshot during the initial stages of the backup process. Since EFI partition is not expected to be modified regularly, the ignore functionality should address the problem. Please include the following upstream patch in the vss daemon:
Tools: hv: vssdaemon: Ignore VFAT mounts during the Freeze operation If the guest has a FAT file system mounted, skip it during the FREEZE operation. With this change we can support host initiated backup of the guest even when the guest may have FAT file systems mounted. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux- next.git/commit/tools/hv/hv_vss_daemon.c?id=f33b215549938f89aebf862b942366d2aa41c191 Thanks, Abhishek ** Affects: hv-kvp-daemon-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => hv-kvp-daemon-init (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to hv-kvp-daemon-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298192 Title: hyper-v: Unable to take backups of Generation 2 VMs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hv-kvp-daemon-init/+bug/1298192/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
