An update to my last mail, having restarted the file system servers
    and all hosts in the resource pool, I now get the following when
    attempting to copy the VDI for the vm in question :
    
    There was an SR backend failure.
    status: non-zero exit
    stdout: 
    stderr: Traceback (most recent call last):

    failed: status=22, pid=14431, errmsg=
    
    I'm pretty sure the vdi IS corrupt, but I'm not sure what utils are
    available to help me repair/diagnose/query it??
    
    I've ran the td-utils query commands direct from the shell, and I
    get similar results to above error code 22 with no further info.
    
    I've tried looking for a list of tap-disk error codes to help me
    diagnose, to no avail.
    
    Any body fancy having a stab at this?
    
    Kind regards,
    
    Ciaran.

I bet your VHD is corrupt.
      
      
      Can you give a bit more SMlog context, i.e. 10 lines above
        and below?
      
      
      Can you give dmesg output also.

                  Hello there.
                  
                  I had cause to force shutdown a vm recently and on
                  attempting to restart it I get :
                  
                  Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_65
                  Error parameters: , Failed to load VDI [opterr=Failed
                  load VDI information /var/run/sr-mount/0554f47c-1a12-9bd1-ea9b-d2b68984f0ed/e82a1032-5a0c-4ff7-96cf-1f62f32938db.vhd]
                  
                  The VDI is on a shared NFS repository, other vm's came
                  back up no problem.
                  
                  Any ideas what to try anyone?
                  
                  Thanks in advance,
                  
                  Ciaran.

            NFS is sideways. Start at the low layers on the host with
            the NFS share and make sure everything is good there first.
            For instance if you have more than one NFS mount or you
            change the mount, or it doesn't mount up etc. you will get
            these errors. I got this when I had an SR connected and I
            shut down NFS, renamed the export and started it back up.
            The SR sat there twitching until I realised what I did.
