Just so you know, David has been working on the librados "list snaps" operation that you'll need to let the tool tell what blocks have changed or not. The code is currently in the wip-4207 branch. We expect it will be merged in the next few days, and should be part of v0.59. I suspect the next step would be a function in the 'rbd' tool that would do the export. Then a similar 'import' tool to go with it? sage -- 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
