Hi Frank, the command takes the metadata pool not the data pool as argument! rados -p <CephFS metadata pool> getxattr $(printf "%x\n" <CephFS Inode Number>).00000000 parent | ceph-dencoder type inode_backtrace_t import - decode dump_json The result is a not very human readable json output: { "ino": 1099511755110, "ancestors": [ { "dirino": 1099511946098, "dname": "CCC", "version": 1850022 }, { "dirino": 1099511627776, "dname": "BBB", "version": 1847528 }, { "dirino": 1, "dname": "AAA", "version": 222830 } ], "pool": 2, "old_pools": [] } The directory containing the .snap dir is /AAA/BBB/CCC. But the snapshot is in /AAA/BBB/CCC/.snap/$SNAPDIR. For the client this might be only visible from a subdir depending on the subdir mounted. In our case the client mounts with option name=AAA. The snapshot is visible as /mnt/point/BBB/CCC/.snap/$SNAPDIR The name of ".snap" depends on a mount option. This the metadata pool can't know. The name of the snapshot directory itself is not given. You can only find directories where snapshots are in, not the actual snapdirs. So you get the same information from find -inum. And it's simpler to use: $ find /mnt/point/ -inum <CephFS Inode Number> -print -quit /mnt/point/BBB/CCC and then: ls -1 /mnt/point/BBB/CCC/.snap Best regards, Lars Wed, 18 Dec 2019 09:42:39 +0000 Frank Schilder <frans@xxxxxx> ==> Lars Täuber <taeuber@xxxxxxx> : > I found it, should have taken a note: > > Command: rados -p <CephFS data pool> getxattr <CephFS Inode Number>.00000000 parent | ceph-dencoder type inode_backtrace_t import - decode dump_json > > Note: <CephFS Inode Number> is hex encoded, use 'printf "%x\n" INUM' to convert from the decimal numbers obtained with dump snaps. > > Explanation: <http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2019-May/034958.html> > > I don't have snapshots enabled and cannot test.
