@faulpeltz, Thanks for the update. I'll build a test kernel with all the latest patches and backport them to prior releases.
Just to confirm, so I build the test kernels with everything needed, we need the following: New patch from comment #343: Drivers: hv: vss: Operation timeouts should match host expectation The updated patch from @faulpeltz posted in comment #343 Tools: hv: vss: Thaw the filesystem and continue after freeze fails And lastly, Alex's patch, which has already landed in mainline: 497af84 Drivers: hv: utils: Continue to poll VSS channel after handling requests. I have not submitted an SRU request for these three patches yet. I just want to confirm all we need are these three patches, and have good testing feedback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470250 Title: [Hyper-V] Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Generation 2 SCSI Errors on VSS Based Backups Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in linux source package in Yakkety: In Progress Status in linux source package in Zesty: In Progress Bug description: Customers have reported running various versions of Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on Generation 2 Hyper-V Hosts.

This relates to the VSS "Windows Server Backup" process that kicks off at midnight on the host and finishes an hour and half later. Yes, we do have hv_vss_daemon and hv_kvp_daemon running for the correct kernel version we have. We're currently running kernel version 3.13.0-49-generic #83 on one system and 3.16.0-34-generic #37 on the other. -- We see the same errors on both. As a result, we've been hesitant to drop any more ubuntu guests on our 2012R2 hyper-v system because of this. We can stop the backup process and all is good, but we need nightly backups to image all of our VM's. All the windows guests have no issues of course. We also have some CentOS based guests running without issues from what we've seen.
