Hi, Josh:
Yeah, format 2 and layering support is in progress for kernel rbd,
but not ready yet. The userspace side is all ready in the master
branch, but it takes more time to implement in the kernel.
Btw, instead of --new-format you should use --format 2. It's in
the man page in the master branch.
As you mentioned before, http://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg08857.html
The kernel rbd is not ready at September, so we cannot map rbd to a device.
Would you mind to estimate when will be available? And which version of kernel? (3.5 or 3.6?)
Thanks!
At this point format 2 is understood by the kernel, and the
infrastructure for opening parent images and the I/O path
for clones is in progress. We estimate about 4-8 weeks for this,
but you should check back then.
Kernel 3.6 was already released, so this would probably go into 3.8 or
3.9.
