IMO, renaming snapshots is very useful when doing regular time-based snapshots (e.g. a "today" snapshot is renamed "yesterday"). This is a very popular feature in ZFS. > * If you create a hard link at "/1/2/foo/bar" pointing at "/1/3/bar" > and then take a snapshot at "/1/2/foo", it *will not* capture the file > data in bar. Is that okay? Doing otherwise is *exceedingly* difficult. This is only the case if /1/2/foo/ does not have the embedded inode for "bar", right? (That's normally the case but an intervening unlink of "1/3/bar" may eventually cause "/1/2/foo/bar" to become the new primary inode?) -- Patrick Donnelly _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
