few questions 1) Is the idea of snapshotting about 100TB of data doable with Ceph? 2) How long would such a task take? Are we talking seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks? 3) what does "stop i/o" mean. Does the filesystem unavailable to the user during the snapshot time, or is this administratively unavailable to the user, or does ceph stop io somewhere while in parallel the data can be read/written to? -- 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
