The rbd_stat call itself just reads the data from memory initialized by rbd_open. On the Jewel branch, librbd has had some major rework and image loading is asynchronous under the hood already. > Hmm, that would be nice. In the callback I could call rbd_stat() and populate the volume list within libvirt. I would very much like to go that route since it saves me a lot of code inside libvirt ;) Wido -- 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
