Great, thanks Josh! Using stdin/stdout merge-diff is working. Thank you for looking into this.

As a workaround, you can pass the first diff in via stdin, e.g.:
cat snap1.diff | rbd merge-diff - snap2.diff combined.diff

When trying to merge two results of rbd export-diff, the

rbd: merge-diff error
That's all the output and I have found this link
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/12911 but not sure if the patch
should
have already been in hammer or how to get it?
That patch fixed a bug that was only present after hammer, due to
parallelizing export-diff. You're likely seeing a different (possibly
new) issue.
Unfortunately there's not much output we can enable for
export-diff in
hammer. Could you try running the command via gdb to figure out where
and why it's failing? Make sure you have librbd-dbg installed, then
send the output from gdb doing:
gdb --args rbd merge-diff /data/volume1/scrun1-120720151502.bck \
/data/volume1/scrun1-120720151504.bck

Will do - how does one load librbd-dbg? I have the following on the
system:
librbd-dev - RADOS block device client library (development files)
librbd1-dbg - debugging symbols for librbd1
is librbd1-dbg sufficient?
Yes, I just forgot the 1 in the package name.
Also a question - the merge-diff really stitches the to diff files
together, not really merges, correct? For example, in the following
workflow:
export-diff from full image - 10GB
export-diff from snap1 - 2 GB
export-diff from snap2 - 1 GB
My resulting merge export file would be 13GB, correct?
It does merge overlapping sections, i.e. part of snap1 that was
overwritten in snap2, so the merged diff may be smaller than the
original two.
