Hi, When creating a snapshot in a subdirectory, this gets lost when the parent directory is removed, see the following command sequence: http://www.pastebin.org/302447 Now, i had a snapshot of the directory "beta" holding my really important file "randomfile.txt". Since creating a snapshot of the root directory is not possible i could loose all my data when someone hacks a box and does a "rm -rf /". What would you advice in this scenario? 1. Create snapshots of the RADOS pools? 2. Never mount the root directory, but a subdir (mount x.x.x.x:/subdir) 3. Prevent your box from being hacked ;-) Thanks! -- Met vriendelijke groet, Wido den Hollander Hoofd Systeembeheer / CSO Telefoon Support Nederland: 0900 9633 (45 cpm) Telefoon Support België: 0900 70312 (45 cpm) Telefoon Direct: (+31) (0)20 50 60 104 Fax: +31 (0)20 50 60 111 E-mail: support@xxxxxxxxxxxx Website: http://www.pcextreme.nl Kennisbank: http://support.pcextreme.nl/ Netwerkstatus: http://nmc.pcextreme.nl -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
