Hello, Ceph users, How can I figure out why it is not possible to unprotect a snapshot in a RBD image? I use this RBD pool for OpenNebula, and somehow there is a snapshot in one image, which OpenNebula does not see. So I wanted to delete the snapshot: # rbd info one/one-1312 rbd image 'one-1312': size 8 GiB in 2048 objects order 22 (4 MiB objects) snapshot_count: 1 id: 6732dccd50fa75 block_name_prefix: rbd_data.6732dccd50fa75 format: 2 features: layering, exclusive-lock, object-map, fast-diff, deep-flatten op_features: flags: create_timestamp: Wed Jun 30 10:41:59 2021 access_timestamp: Wed Jun 30 16:48:30 2021 modify_timestamp: Wed Jun 30 15:52:18 2021 # rbd snap ls one/one-1312 SNAPID NAME SIZE PROTECTED TIMESTAMP 1727 snap 8 GiB yes Wed Jun 30 16:11:39 2021 # rbd snap rm one/one-1312@snap Removing snap: 0% complete...failed. rbd: snapshot 'snap' is protected from removal. 2021-07-01 08:33:41.489 7f79c6ffd700 -1 librbd::Operations: snapshot is protected # rbd snap unprotect one/one-1312@snap 2021-07-01 08:28:40.747 7f3cb6ffd700 -1 librbd::SnapshotUnprotectRequest: cannot unprotect: at least 1 child(ren) [68ba8e7bace188] in pool 'one' 2021-07-01 08:28:40.749 7f3cb6ffd700 -1 librbd::SnapshotUnprotectRequest: encountered error: (16) Device or resource busy 2021-07-01 08:28:40.749 7f3cb6ffd700 -1 librbd::SnapshotUnprotectRequest: 0x56522f10e830 should_complete_error: ret_val=-16 rbd: unprotecting snap failed: 2021-07-01 08:28:40.751 7f3cb6ffd700 -1 librbd::SnapshotUnprotectRequest: 0x56522f10e830 should_complete_error: ret_val=-16 As far as I can see neither the snapshot nor the RBD image itself is used by a running qemu in my cluster. How can I delete the snapshot or debug the problem further? This is Ceph 14.2.21 on CentOS (mons are CentOS 8 now, and OSDs are CentOS 7).
