Unfortunately, there is not. Ceph snapshots are read only and I don’t think we will ever provide a “revert” functionality. What we would like to do is provide the ability to clone from a snapshot into a portion of the live filesystem (conceptually similar to an rbd clone). This is a big project but it’s on the road map. -Greg > > Cheers > -- > Andre Tann > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
