The only drawback is that your export-diff might be larger. For example, changing 1 bytes within a 4MB backing object block will result in a 4MB export instead of a 1 byte export. > If I use this option when object-map is enabled, is this only benefical ? > What does it do if this feature is disabled ? It behaves the same way -- it will export the full object if at least one byte has changed. > Why is `whole-object` an option, and not the default behavior ? ... because it can result in larger export-diffs. > Regards, > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com -- Jason _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
