cephfs manila snapshots best practices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

We're currently upgrading our cephfs (managed by OpenStack Manila)
clusters to Mimic, and want to start enabling snapshots of the file
shares.
There are different ways to approach this, and I hope someone can
share their experiences with:

1. Do you give users the 's' flag in their cap, so that they can
create snapshots themselves? We're currently planning *not* to do this
-- we'll create snapshots for the users.
2. We want to create periodic snaps for all cephfs volumes. I can see
pros/cons to creating the snapshots in /volumes/.snap or in
/volumes/_nogroup/<uuid>/.snap. Any experience there? Or maybe even
just an fs-wide snap in /.snap is the best approach ?
3. I found this simple cephfs-snap script which should do the job:
http://images.45drives.com/ceph/cephfs/cephfs-snap  Does anyone have a
different recommendation?

Thanks!

Dan
