For me all this images are RBD v1 images, without layering. # rbd info sas3copies/env4-spool rbd image 'env4-spool': size 10240 MB in 2560 objects order 22 (4096 KB objects) block_name_prefix: rb.0.1536881.238e1f29 format: 1 (the one reported here : Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255938] obj_request ffff88025a2b3c48 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255940] ->object_name <rb.0.1536881.238e1f29.000000000439> Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255941] ->offset 0 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255943] ->length 28672 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255944] ->type 0x1 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255945] ->flags 0x3 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255946] ->which 1 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255948] ->xferred 28672 Mar 25 21:17:58 murmillia kernel: [ 2205.255949] ->result 0 ) At VM level, this block device is formated in ext4, and used for Exim4 (MTA) spool, and can handle a lots of writes.
