For gluster-block it may be easier to have snapshot support in
tcmu-runner instead? The qcow2 format would be ideal, and is in use by
different Virtual Machine approaches running on Gluster already. There
even is an upstream issue open for it:
https://github.com/open-iscsi/tcmu-runner/issues/32
Contributing towards this might be quicker than implementing file
snapshot support in Gluster?
We tried that route by talking Fam Zheng, but the solution won't be delivered in the timelines we are looking for.
So we went with this approach.
So we went with this approach.
