It writes zeros; there's no way for it to know how many zeros are
coming. It could make a half-hearted attempt depending on its buffer
size and the amount of data the source is willing to buffer.
As for fstrim: on the rbd image?....sure, if it's a filesystem, it ought
to work (modulo some bugs I've heard about with 32-bit vs. 64-bit
offsets in qemu... :) )

Hi,
Export isn't a problem. But import should handle this correctly. Or does it write zeros to the object file
But even if it write zeros to the file shouldn't a fstrim fix this?

Yes, it's broken too (there's an issue open on it). I have some test
code done over the weekend
and will be pushing it after review.
Be aware that import/export to stdin/stdout are limited in that they
cannot preserve sparseness
of the image, but they should both be working soon at least.

Well...
makes no difference:
gzip -dc vm-101-disk-1.img.gz | rbd import --format=2 --size=40960 -
kvmpool1/vm-101-disk-1
rbd: error reading file: (29) Illegal seek
Importing image: 0% complete...failed.
rbd: import failed: (29) Illegal seek
I think the problem is that ceph seeks in File when it get's zeros (not
filled content). But seeking doesn't work on stdin. It has to read from
stdin until there are no more zeros.

Hello list,
i know branch wip-rbd-export-stdout is work in progress but it is more
than useful ;-)
When i try to import an image i get:
# gzip -dc vm-101-disk-1.img.gz | rbd import --format=2
--size=42949672960 - kvmpool1/vm-101-disk-1
rbd: error reading file: (29) Illegal seek
Importing image: 0% complete...failed.
rbd: import failed: (29) Illegal seek
Anything i've tried wrong?
I would assume, that size is already in MiB? Seems to be a slightly too
big value... Not tried myself, though...
Oliver.
Greets,
Stefan
