ValidateVmBackups won't validate FreeBSD #112

Closed pandaflourishingfish closed 1 year ago

pandaflourishingfish commented 1 year ago

I stumbled across this earlier this morning; it doesn't look like the "ValidateVMBackups" script will work with FreeBSD 13.x. Originally I ran the validation against a pair of NetScalers, then had the same failure result when running against a vanilla FreeBSD install. If it matters, it's Cohesity 6.8.1_u3 patch 11, vMware 7.0.3, and FreeBSD 13.2 running with ZFS. The status is "successful", but the validation is "false"

I don't have those OS's to test but if Cohesity doesn't support the file system formats or the way they are mounted, thus can't mount and browse the files, then no the script will not work.

I think you’re on to something. I dug around in the docs and FreeBSD isn’t supported as a file system that can be indexed. Interestingly, it does show as a supported guest OS on HyperV, but not on ESXi.

Thanks for the info
