I wouldn't give users the ability to perform snapshots directly on Ceph unless you have full control over your users or fully trust them. Too easy to ruin your day by creating lots of small files and lots of snapshots that will wreck your performance... Also, snapshots aren't really accounted in their quota by CephFS :/ Paul On Wed, Mar 20, 2019 at 4:34 PM Dan van der Ster <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > 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.
