Ceph's RBD flattening and image options

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Lately I've been working on XEN RBD SM and I'm using RBD's built-in snapshot functionality.

My system looks like this:
base image -> snapshot -> snaphot is used to create XEN VM's volumes -> volume snapshots (via rbd snap..) -> another VMs -> etc.

I'd like to be able to delete one of the volumes "in the chain" but without cloning base image blocks that hadn't changed yet (I'm trying to save up space) as it is done "by default" while flattening snapshots.
Is this possible and if it is, then how can I achieve this?

Also, we wanted to tune a bit ceph images while they're being created and we're unable to set any of the striping options succesfully - We're setting variables with correct values (even copying those in documentation) and we get errors from librbd during image creation or image mapping.

I can post you our ceph.conf and CRUSH map if needed.
