In newer versions there's regex that's parsing image name passed to rbd
command (in src/tools/rbd/Utils.cc, function: extract_spec):

      "^(?:([^/@]+)/)?([^/@]+)(?:@([^/@]+))?$"

It won't parse pool name with '@', image name with '/' nor snapshot name
with '/', which was allowed in previous implementation based on strchr.
And I would leave this limitation (if there were no real complains
from users) because it could be really difficult to understand what a
spec that had e.g. two "@" meant.
Wouldn't that cause backward compatibility issues? I.e. if I've created image name with '/' inside, I won't be able to do anything with it after upgrading to Jewel, even remove or rename it.


You can still bypass the limitation by using --pool, --image, and
--snap options, and I would recommend to always use these in scripts
instead of specs.

True, but even if I specify image name with --image argument it still goes through rbd::utils::extract_spec function (or set_pool_image_name in old code) so there's no way to put there any raw name I want.
