“It’s going to explode,” Leo warned. “Zephyr has a phantom disk. An old snapshot that’s been detached but never purged. The OVF spec hates orphans.” xcp-ng ovf

The datacenter kept humming, carrying the story of one VM saved by a single, exportable file. “We don’t run,” Elara muttered

Leo exhaled. “You broke the rules. You exported an OVF from XCP-ng, fixed it by hand, and imported it somewhere else. That’s not supposed to work.” An old snapshot that’s been detached but never purged

She right-clicked the comatose Zephyr. Export → Open Virtualization Format (OVF) .

Elara pulled the log. Error: Invalid backlink – orphaned snapshot block at LBA 8847360 .
