- Around line 33-37: Add the documented event-driven backstop immediately before
the HelmRelease readiness wait in examples/backups/vmdisk/03-create-vmdisk.sh
lines 33-37, using the existing wait flow around kubectl and wait_for_field.
Apply the same backstop immediately before the restored VMDisk HelmRelease
readiness wait in examples/backups/vmdisk/05-restore-in-place.sh lines 41-43;
both sites must fail fast on HelmRelease readiness failures.
- Around line 35-36: Update the wait_for_field invocation for vm-disk-backup-src
to provide the DataVolume’s terminal failure phase as its fail value, so imports
stop immediately on failure while retaining Succeeded as the success value and
the existing namespace and timeout.

In `@examples/backups/vmi/04-create-vminstance.sh`:
- Around line 42-47: Add the documented event-driven readiness backstop before
each raw kubectl wait in examples/backups/vmi/04-create-vminstance.sh (lines
42-47) and before the restored-VM wait in
examples/backups/vmi/06-restore-in-place.sh (lines 51-54). In the HelmRelease
wait path of 04-create-vminstance.sh, also detect Ready=False and fail
immediately instead of waiting for the full timeout; preserve the existing VM
readiness wait behavior.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The VMDisk round-trip's restore half asserts on objects the restore never touches, so it certifies a path it does not exercise, and neither harness reclaims the volume it leaves behind.

Findings

• [MAJOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/05-restore-in-place.sh:29, the VMDisk restore assertions cannot go red
• [MAJOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/cleanup.sh:26, the kept PVC and its retained PV are never reclaimed
• [MINOR] hack/e2e-chainsaw/vminstance/chainsaw-test.yaml:208, the op timeout sits below the waits it contains
• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmi/06-restore-in-place.sh:53, "boots again" rests on the weakest available signal

Claim mismatches

[PARTIAL] "the in-CI proof of the cozy-default-velero-vminstance path": both harnesses apply hand-written copies. The shipped cozy-default-velero-{vminstance,vmdisk} hardcode storageLocation: cozy-default, are never exercised, and nothing guards the drift between them and what the tests apply.

[UNVERIFIABLE] "run un-gated in CI": no E2E check exists on c8581c2 yet. Plan build, Analyze (go), label and size were still queued, so the claim is unexercised at this revision rather than wrong.

Caveats

• Not verified, needs a cluster: whether Velero restores volume data when the target PVC still exists under existingResourcePolicy: update. That is the question the first finding turns on from the Velero side, and the driver-side half is settled above.
• Nothing under packages/ changes, so existing-customer upgrade and fresh-install impact are out of scope for this one.
• What holds: the suite wiring is real. Removing the vmi|vmdisk) app=vminstance arm from hack/select-e2e.sh reddens the bats case the PR adds, and the backup infrastructure (backupstrategy-controller, backup-controller, velero) is in the default system bundle, so the BackupClass waits are legitimate rather than permanently red.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

Both round-trips pin storageClass: replicated, which the lane that gates PRs never creates, so neither reaches Velero. That is why both failed on the last completed run of this branch.

Findings

• [CRITICAL] examples/backups/vmdisk/03-create-vmdisk.sh:26, the harness asks for a StorageClass the gating lane never renders
• [MAJOR] examples/backups/vmi/06-restore-in-place.sh:62, the DHCP-lease wait reads the launcher pod's IP, so it cannot see a blank disk
• [MAJOR] hack/e2e-chainsaw/vminstance/chainsaw-test.yaml:214, the declared op budgets cannot fit inside the job's 215-minute cap
• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmi/cleanup.sh:51, the orphan reclaim fails open, and deleting a Retain PV does not reclaim the volume
• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmi/01-create-strategies.sh:1, the CI round-trip still applies hand-written strategy copies, not the shipped defaults (open from an earlier round)

[MINOR] commit e983ab297, the subject is addressed to the review thread

"address review — real VMDisk restore, teardown reclaim, boot proof" points at a conversation a reader holding only git log cannot see.

Still open from my earlier rounds

[MINOR] the CI round-trip still exercises hand-written strategy copies rather than the shipped cozy-default-velero-* objects, and nothing detects drift between them. examples/backups/vmi/01-create-strategies.sh and examples/backups/vmdisk/01-create-strategy.sh still kubectl apply their own CRs; e983ab297 touched neither those scripts nor packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/templates/. Open since my earlier round.

Claim mismatches

[MISSING] "both run a real Velero backup/restore un-gated in CI": in the gating lane they stop at the disk import and never create a Velero Backup.

[MISSING] "a leased IP needs a booted guest" (commit body): it is the pod IP, per the KubeVirt source above.

Caveats

• E2E on e983ab297 was still running; the CI evidence is the last completed run (c8581c23f), whose commit changed neither disk script.
• Static review, no cluster: the Velero/S3 data-mover path, the VMDisk delete-then-restore sequence, the velero.io/restore-name assertion and both teardowns are unexercised.
• No chart or values file is touched, so upgrade and config-matrix analysis does not apply.
• Follow-up: extend that bats guard to the example scripts this suite drives, so a hardcoded class cannot re-enter through a path its list does not name.

Findings not anchored to changed lines

These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.

[MINOR] examples/backups/vmi/01-create-strategies.sh:1 the CI round-trip still applies hand-written strategy copies, not the shipped defaults (open from an earlier round)

Both harnesses still kubectl apply their own Velero strategy CRs instead of exercising the shipped cozy-default-velero-vminstance / cozy-default-velero-vmdisk objects, and nothing detects drift between the two. e983ab297 touched neither these scripts nor packages/system/backupstrategy-controller/templates/, so what CI proves is that a copy works, not that what ships works.

Andrey Kolkov (@androndo) NOT LGTM. What I asked for last time is in, but the controller change gives one realistic VMDisk restore a worse outcome than it had before, and the controller doesn't guard against it.

Status of my earlier blockers at a333b61a

• B1 (red round-trip, catch blind to the data mover): closed. E2E (in-tree) on this head (run 37423537422, attempt 1) is green, with vmdisk-2-backup-roundtrip at 315s and vminstance-2-backup-roundtrip at 194s. The last red came from a WaitForFirstConsumer PVC that nothing consumed, and the log here shows the pause Pod starting on the Block PVC. The catch now also describes the Velero Restore, DataDownload and DataUpload.
• B2 (label alone does not prove a restore): closed. Both scripts now require a new metadata.uid, the restore-name label and the -orig- PVC. I ran 05-restore-in-place.sh against a stub kubectl. A relabel-only restore (same uid) fails on the uid check, a missing -orig- fails on its check, a missing label fails on its check, and the good path passes. With the uid comparison removed, the relabel-only case goes green, so that check does real work.
• B3 (PR body): closed. The title, the controller section and the release note now describe what ships.
• My earlier non-blocking points: TestCollectUnderlyingResources_VMInstance now pins the VMInstance branch (redirecting the new guard to vmInstanceKind turns both tests red). The README is no longer hardwrapped, and the budget comment gives the real 38m.

Blocker

An in-place restore of a VMDisk that a running VM uses now detaches the disk and restores nothing

Every VMInstance disk is a VMDisk (vm.yaml mounts dataVolume: vm-disk-<name>), so BackupClass for kind VMDisk can back up a disk that a running VM uses, and a RestoreJob can then target it in place. On that path prepareForRestore halts only appKind == vmInstanceKind. For a VMDisk it goes straight to renamePVC, which does this to a PVC that virt-launcher still mounts:

1. creates <name>-orig-<hash> on the same PV and flips the PV to Retain;
2. deletes the original PVC, which stays Terminating behind kubernetes.io/pvc-protection while the pod runs;
3. repoints the PV's claimRef at the -orig- PVC.

Then createVeleroRestore runs in the same pass. In Velero v1.18.1, pkg/restore/actions/csi/pvc_action.go returns early when isResourceExist finds a PVC with that name, and a plain Get also finds a Terminating one:

// If PVC already exists, returns early.
if p.isResourceExist(pvc, *input.Restore) {
    logger.Warnf("PVC already exists. Skip restore this PVC.")

That means no DataDownload is created, Velero reports Completed, and the RestoreJob goes Succeeded without moving any data. The VM keeps running on the old volume until it restarts. After that its PVC is gone, the PV belongs to -orig-, and the DataVolume was deleted, so the disk the VM boots from is whatever Flux and CDI recreate. Before this PR the same restore was a no-op that left the VM untouched. No data is destroyed (it survives in -orig- under Retain), but the user's VM loses its disk while the job reports success.

The e2e can't catch this because the VMDisk under test is detached, and the script comment already says a mounting Pod "would pin it with pvc-protection and block the rename". The controller needs the same check. Before the rename, fail the RestoreJob with a clear message when a Pod in the namespace mounts the claim (stop the VM, or restore the VMInstance instead), or halt the VMI that uses it. A unit test with a Pod that references the claim would pin it.

Non-blocking

1. Two comments still say a VM booting again proves the restore: the vminstance-2-backup-roundtrip header ("so 'boots again' is the proof") and 06-restore-in-place.sh:51-53 ("prove the restored VM actually boots from the restored disk"). The comment a few lines below in the same script says the opposite, and the opposite is correct.
2. Neither round-trip compares content. The proof is "Velero created this PVC and its restore Completed", and since PartiallyFailed maps to a failed RestoreJob, that does mean the DataDownload finished. A checksum of the first few MiB of the block device, taken before the backup and compared after the restore, would catch a backup of the wrong or empty volume, which the uid can't. The pause consumer Pod is a natural place for that read.
3. 05-restore-in-place.sh waits on the HelmRelease with a bare kubectl wait --for=condition=ready after the restore. The HR was Ready before the controller suspended it, so a stale Ready=True can satisfy that wait immediately, and a failed reinstall burns the full 300s. wait_hr_ready in examples/backups/_lib/wait-helpers.sh already fails fast on Stalled. The import waits in vmdisk/03 and vmi/04 have the same shape.
4. The drain before deleting the BSL now branches on kubectl's exit status. On timeout or a failed query it warns and deletes the BSL anyway, so the orphaning it guards against still happens, now loudly but with a green step.
5. The full-suite job on this head took 193m against the 215m cap, so the headroom is about 22m with every Test passing.
6. Unchanged from last time: the harnesses still apply hand-written strategy copies, which match strategy-velero-{vminstance,vmdisk}-default.yaml field by field except storageLocation, and nothing would catch drift between them.

What I ran

• go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... ./internal/fluxcontract/...: green.
• Mutations of the new branch: disabling it reddens TestCollectUnderlyingResources_VMDisk, and redirecting it to vmInstanceKind reddens both new tests. I reverted to a clean tree after each.
• hack/select-e2e_test.bats under hack/cozytest.sh: 60 of 60. Turning the 07-restore-to-copy.sh exclusion into a no-op reddens "vmi restore-to-copy step, which the suite skips, selects nothing". Dropping vminstance from the seaweedfs row reddens "a seaweedfs change selects every suite that uses seaweedfs object storage".
• hack/backup-examples-shared-helpers.bats 4 of 4, hack/bats-no-exit-trap.bats 22 of 22. There is no EXIT trap in the new scripts or Tests, and neither new Test calls the remediation guard, so the fluxcontract shared-name rule doesn't apply to them.
• Commits: three, each signed off with one Assisted-by: LLM and no review wording.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The standalone-VMDisk restore fix is correct for backups taken on this code: a VMDisk named X has HelmRelease, DataVolume and PVC all vm-disk-X (cozyrd release.prefix: vm-disk-, DataVolume metadata.name: {{ .Release.Name }}), so prepareForRestore suspends, renames and deletes the right objects. Reverting the new branch reddens TestCollectUnderlyingResources_VMDisk and nothing else, so the collect side is pinned. go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... is green and the branch is level with main. The prior CRITICAL and the three blockers from the last pass are all addressed on this head: the uid + -orig- PVC proof, the WaitForFirstConsumer pause-Pod and the raised restore budget, and a proper fix(backups): commit documenting the controller change.

One blocker remains, and it is on the upgrade path rather than in the changed lines.

Findings

• [MAJOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:361, Pre-fix VMDisk backups restore to a silent no-op (no data, RestoreJob Succeeded)

• [MINOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:356, Comment names the wrong load-bearing mechanism

• [MINOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:1136, Restoring a VMDisk attached to a running VM is unguarded (reasoned, not executed)

• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/01-create-strategy.sh:1, Harness applies a hand-written strategy copy, not the shipped default

• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/05-restore-in-place.sh:91, Fail-open phase read hides the cause; unbounded pod delete can signal: killed

• [MINOR] hack/select-e2e.sh:451, A packages/system/velero change is not routed to the vminstance suite

• [NIT] hack/select-e2e_test.bats:502, Stale fixture names the deleted .disabled suite; README hardwrapped

Caveat (blocking the verdict)

E2E (in-tree) was still running on the reviewed head, and it is the only in-CI exercise of the new happy path. Velero's update patch un-suspends the HR before the data mover finishes, after which Flux recreates the DataVolume and the restore relies on allowClaimAdoption for CDI to adopt the already-restored PVC rather than re-import it; that end-to-end safety cannot be settled statically and needs the E2E result (or a cozystack-pr-test run) to come back green.

Checked and correct

HR/DV/PVC naming, the collect-side mutation, the 40m op-timeout budget arithmetic, the synchronous HR creation behind the bare kubectl wait hr, the select-e2e routing (green bats, 60/60), and the data-mover network path were all verified and are fine.

[MINOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:1136 Restoring a VMDisk attached to a running VM is unguarded (reasoned, not executed)

Reasoned, needs a live cluster. Only a VMInstance restore halts the VM (Step 2 gated on the VMInstance kind), so the standalone-VMDisk path deletes the DataVolume and renames the PVC under a live guest, and a failed rename is only a Warning Event. Consider refusing/halting when the disk is in use, or documenting the constraint.

[NIT] hack/select-e2e_test.bats:502 Stale fixture names the deleted .disabled suite; README hardwrapped

A bats fixture still names hack/e2e-chainsaw/backup/chainsaw-test.yaml.disabled, which this PR deletes (use the live kubernetes-proxmox example). examples/backups/vmdisk/README.md is hardwrapped at ~72 columns unlike its siblings.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

To be clear up front: no code defect remains. Every blocker from the last pass is addressed, with tests, and the fixes moved into the controller rather than the scripts:

• A VMDisk Backup taken before underlying resources were recorded no longer restores to a silent no-op: restoreDisks synthesises the vm-disk-<name> disk from backup.Spec.ApplicationRef when ur is nil, and TestPrepareForRestore_VMDiskBackupWithoutUnderlyingResources pins it.
• Restoring a VMDisk a running VM still mounts is refused before anything changes: podsMountingDisks gates prepareForRestore, fails closed on a list error, and names the Pod. Reverting that guard reddens TestPrepareForRestore_VMDiskInUse and ...CheckFailsClosed, so the tests hold it. markPreparedRestoreFailed/preparedRestoreLeftovers now tell the operator what a post-preparation failure left behind.

go test ./internal/backupcontroller/ is green, and on the E2E run for this head every chainsaw test passed, vmdisk-2-backup-roundtrip (298s) and vminstance-2-backup-roundtrip (193s) among them.

Two things block the merge, both mechanical rather than defects in this code:

1. The branch no longer merges into main (mergeable_state: dirty). #4671 ("refuse a foreign -orig PVC and record the kept disk's reclaim policy") landed after this branch was cut and touches the same files: internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go, hack/select-e2e.sh and hack/select-e2e_test.bats. Rebase onto main and resolve those conflicts; the overlap is in the same -orig PVC / reclaim area, so the resolution is worth a careful read, not just a mechanical accept.
2. The red E2E (in-tree) check is an unrelated flake, not this PR: LEAKED-PODS suite=postgres budget=300s count=1 (one postgres-suite Pod outlived its cleanup), with Failed tests 0 across every suite. A re-run (which the rebase will trigger anyway) should clear it.

The rest are non-blocking notes.

Findings

• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/05-restore-in-place.sh:91, Fail-open phase read hides the cause of a restore timeout

• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/05-restore-in-place.sh:114, Unbounded pod delete can hang the step to signal: killed

• [NIT] hack/select-e2e_test.bats:502, Fixture names the deleted .disabled suite

Checked and correct

restoreDisks nil-ur fallback, the podsMountingDisks guard (mutation-pinned, fail-closed), the VMDisk-vs-VMInstance orLabelSelectors split, HR/DV/PVC naming, the observedGeneration wait before Ready, and the whole chainsaw suite on this head (all 6 passed) were verified.

[NIT] hack/select-e2e_test.bats:502 Fixture names the deleted .disabled suite

The fixture still names hack/e2e-chainsaw/backup/chainsaw-test.yaml.disabled, which this PR deletes. The test passes on the path-shaped rule, but the fixture now points at a file that no longer exists; hack/e2e-chainsaw/kubernetes-proxmox/chainsaw-test.yaml.disabled is a live stand-in.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The rebase onto main is clean: #4671 (foreign -orig refusal, reclaim-policy) and this PR's own additions (restoreDisks nil-ur fallback, podsMountingDisks in-use guard) coexist in prepareForRestore, both refusals run before any suspend/halt/rename/delete, both fail closed, and vm-disk-<name> is the HelmRelease, DataVolume and PVC name, so the right objects are hit. merge origin/main + go test ./internal/backupcontroller/ are green and both round-trips passed on this head. Every finding from my earlier rounds is closed.

One new blocker, on the restore-failure path rather than the happy path.

Findings

• [MAJOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:787, Velero FailedValidation treated as in-progress leaves a prepared VMDisk stuck Running with no signal

• [MINOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:1166, suspend/halt errors are swallowed and the destructive steps still run; in-use guard skips VMInstance

• [MINOR] examples/backups/vmdisk/05-restore-in-place.sh:120, Restore assertions do not prove the data came from the backup

Checked and correct

The #4671 rebase integration, guard ordering and fail-closed behaviour, restoreDisks nil-ur fallback, HR/DV/PVC naming, go test on the merged-with-main tree, and both green round-trips were verified.

[MAJOR] internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go:787 Velero FailedValidation treated as in-progress leaves a prepared VMDisk stuck Running with no signal

prepareForRestore (line 724) suspends the HR, deletes the DataVolume and renames the PVC to -orig before anything checks the Velero Backup still exists; the Velero Restore is created only afterwards (735). If Velero rejects it (Backup expired after its 720h ttl, or BSL gone) the phase is FailedValidation, terminal in Velero v1.18.3 (restore_controller.go:267). The failure branch at 787 matches only Failed/PartiallyFailed, so FailedValidation falls to the 797 in-progress branch and the RestoreJob requeues as Running forever: no message, no Warning event, the disk already disassembled (data stranded in the -orig PVC). The Backup CR outlives the Velero Backup, so an old backup reaches this. Pre-existing for VMInstance; this PR newly routes VMDisk through the same disassemble-then-validate path, and the PR's own safety theme (guards before disassembly) makes the gap in-scope. Fix: handle FailedValidation (and any non-Completed terminal phase) via markPreparedRestoreFailed, and/or verify the Velero Backup exists and is Completed before preparing. Test: a FailedValidation Restore must yield Failed and name the -orig- PVC.

Andrey Kolkov (@androndo) NOT LGTM. The blocker from my last review is fixed, but the VMDisk path now reaches keepOriginalPVC: false, and that turns a harmless no-op into a broken disk.

My last blocker at 9f43ec53

Closed. prepareForRestore now refuses an in-place VMDisk restore before it changes anything when a Pod that is still running mounts the disk's PVC. The refusal names the Pod, a Pod already being deleted is waited for, and a failed Pod list requeues instead of going ahead. The VMInstance path waits for its launcher Pod to let go before the rename. When I disabled the VMDisk guard, TestPrepareForRestore_VMDiskInUse, ...VMDiskInUseCheckFailsClosed, ...VMDiskBackupWithoutUnderlyingResources and three TestReconcileVeleroRestore_* refusal tests went red.

The last blocker from IvanHunters is closed too. FailedValidation now fails the RestoreJob and lists what was left behind, and dropping it from the failure branch turns TestReconcileVeleroRestore_FailureAfterPreparationNamesLeftovers red. Suspend and halt errors now stop preparation, and the Velero Backup is checked before anything is taken apart.

Blocker

An in-place VMDisk restore with keepOriginalPVC: false now leaves the disk unrecoverable

Before this PR a VMDisk restore prepared nothing, because collectUnderlyingResources records no disk for a VMDisk. Velero skipped the existing PVC and the restore did nothing, but the disk itself stayed healthy. On this head restoreDisks returns vm-disk-<name> for a VMDisk, and the RestoreOptions doc now says KeepOriginalPVC applies to VMDisk. With keepOriginalPVC: false, Steps 3 and 5 are skipped and Step 4 deletes the DataVolume with DeletePropagationOrphan (deleteDataVolume), so the bound PVC stays where it is, without its owner reference. #4672 documents what happens next, with a Velero log from a real cluster: the CSI PVC action returns early with "PVC already exists. Skip restore this PVC.", no DataDownload is created, and the RestoreJob goes Succeeded over the old data. When the HelmRelease resumes, the CDI webhook rejects the DataVolume it creates with Destination PVC <ns>/<name> already exists on every reconcile. So the disk's HelmRelease goes from Ready to stuck Ready=False, and a VMDisk with the same name can't be created again until someone deletes the PVC by hand. No test covers a VMDisk restore with keepOriginalPVC: false.

The fix for this path already exists in #4672 (it deletes the PVC once the DataVolume is gone and waits for it), and its body says it covers the VMDisk case once both PRs are in. Either land after #4672 and rebase onto it, or refuse keepOriginalPVC: false for a VMDisk target in this PR, with a test, until it does.

Merging with #4672

I did a trial merge of this head with #4672 (6d064a86). Git flags conflicts only in the KeepOriginalPVC doc comment, the rbac comment and two adjacent test additions. The merged code doesn't build, though: #4672 turns resolveUnderlyingResourcesForRestore into a free function that takes the Velero Backup, and this PR still calls the old method in the multiple-Restores and Restore-failure branches. With those calls patched, two tests here go red. #4672's own Velero Backup check runs first and calls markRestoreJobFailed directly, so TestReconcileVeleroRestore_UnrestorableVeleroBackupFailsBeforePreparation and TestReconcileVeleroRestore_RefusalAfterPreparationStartedNamesLeftovers fail. In the second case a Velero Backup that expires after preparation started produces a message with no -orig- PVC or suspended HelmRelease in it. The two checks also disagree on PartiallyFailed: this PR accepts it and #4672 refuses it. Both PRs also wait for the DataVolume to be gone and add the same get verb. Whichever PR lands second should keep one Backup check (the one behind failBeforeRestore) and one DataVolume wait. A trial merge with current main is clean, and go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... passes on it. A merge with #4673 is clean and its tests pass.

Non-blocking

1. The round-trips still don't compare disk content. The uid, label, -orig- and Completed DataDownload checks show that Velero wrote a PVC, but not that it wrote the backed-up bytes.
2. The 096570a3 commit body has a stray short line ("boots a blank disk. Preparation now") in the middle of a paragraph.

E2E (in-tree) on this head was still running when I wrote this.
