Hi Josh,

Thanks for taking a look at this. I 'm answering your questions inline.

And then proceeded to create a qemu-kvm guest with rbd/server as its
backing store. The guest booted but as soon as it got to mount the root
fs, things got weird:

What does the qemu command line look like?

I am using libvirt, so I'll be copy-pasting from the log file:

This suggests the disk is being exposed as read-only via QEMU,
perhaps via qemu's snapshot or other options.

You're right, the disk does seem R/O but also corrupt. The disk image was cleanly unmounted before creating the snapshot and cloning it.

What is more, if I just flatten the image and start the guest again it boots fine and there is no recovery needed on the fs.

There are also a some:

block I/O error in device 'drive-scsi0-0-0-0': Operation not permitted (1)

messages logged in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/server.log

You can use a clone in exactly the same way as any other rbd image.
If you're running QEMU manually, for example, something like:

qemu-kvm -drive file=rbd:rbd/server,format=raw,cache=writeback

is fine for using the clone. QEMU is supposed to be unaware of any
snapshots, parents, etc. at the rbd level.
In a sense, the parameters passed to QEMU from libvirt boil down to your suggested command line. I think it should work as well, it is written all over the place :)

I'm a still a newbie wrt ceph, maybe I am missing something flat-out obvious.
Thanks for your time,

-K.
