Hello,
Can you explain how you do this procedure? I have the same problem with the large images and snapshots.
This is what I do:
# qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw image.qcow2 image.img
# openstack image create image.img
But the image.img is too large.
Thanks,
Fran.

Hi Gaurav, It might seem a little far fetched, but I'd use the qemu-img(1) tool to convert the qcow2 image file to a Ceph backed volume. First of all, create a volume of appropriate size in Cinder. The volume will be sparse. Then, figure out the identifier and use rados(8) to find the exact name of the volume in Ceph. Finally, use qemu-img(1) and point to the volume you just found out about.
