Will it speed up copy operations as well? Those are a lot more important in practice... A delete operation I can usually just fire off and leave running in the background, but if I'm running a copy operation, there's usually something else waiting (like starting a virtual server that's waiting for its disk) that cannot proceed until the copy is actually finished. On another note, it looks to me (correct me if I'm wrong) like rbd copy operations always involve copying all the data objects from the source volume to the machine on which the rbd command is running, and then back to the cluster, even if that machine isn't even part of the cluster. Are there any plans to streamline this?
