Hello Jason/Kees,
I am trying to take snapshot of my instance.
Image was stuck up in Queued state and instance is stuck up in Image Pending Upload state.
I had to manually quit the job as it was not working since last 1 hour .. my instance is still in Image Pending Upload state.
Is it something wrong with my ceph configuration?
can i take snapshots with ceph storage? How?
Regards
Gaurav Goyal

The RAW file will appear to be the exact image size but the filesystem
will know about the holes in the image and it will be sparsely
allocated on disk. For example:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse-file bs=1 count=1 seek=2GiB
# ll sparse-file
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jdillaman jdillaman 2147483649 Jul 13 09:20 sparse-file
# du -sh sparse-file
4.0K sparse-file
Now, running qemu-img to copy the image into the backing RBD pool:
# qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw ~/sparse-file rbd:rbd/sparse-file
# rbd disk-usage sparse-file
NAME PROVISIONED USED
sparse-file 2048M 0
