      I bet that there are some quick advancements to make this leapfrog over XenServer, too. Like moving to XFS or BtrFs or even ZFS.

      Anything to get away from ext3.

        @scottalanmiller Yes, good idea. This would be doable to add ZFS support for local SR. I can do it in a week if I have a week free πŸ˜›

          This alone would crush XenServer.

            I just want to toot my own horn and say that I first suggested this or something like it fourteen months ago to @olivier .... it just took Citrix' decline for another year to invoke some action πŸ™‚

              @olivier may I suggest to adjust the payload from "XenServer build from the sources" in "XenServer built from the sources"?!

                Yeah, but without enough incentive to do so, XenServer was more appealing. Now they removed some features, they raised the common interested to do so. And therefore people are more eager to try it now.

                      That’s why I consider myself a futurist more than anything else.

                                Good news, and quickly at that!
                                Question, is your build using the same versions of perl(5 year old release in XS7) and python(nearly 5 years old) as XS7.2?
                                Is the plan to use more modern versions of these eventually?

                                  At the moment, this was directly from 7.2 and just disable the restrictions.

                                  That may come down the pipe based on what I read.

                                    The short term goal is to have:

                                    • the latest XS version with "XenServer" name replaced by XCP-ng
                                    • removal of all feature restriction
                                    • easy upgrade path from XS to XCP-ng

                                    Mid-term goal:

                                    • rely on RPM repo for all operations
                                    • validate/authorize more vanilla packages to be used on Dom0 for more integrations within Xen and XAPI

                                    Long-term goal:

                                    • contribute directly to mainline (XAPI/drivers)
                                    • re-unite XAPI into a mainline without license check

                                        The one thing that kept me from using XenServer at my current server provider is that I couldn't get XAPI to listen on custom ports.

                                        PLEASE make that something easily done!

                                        NB: I haven't used XenServer since 7.0.

                                          Once there is an ISO I'd be happy to test, I'd be interesting in helping the upgrade process as well.
