All- I've just merged the snapshot support into the unstable branch. It's not completely finished yet (garbage collection and handling for a number of corner cases is still missing), but provided you don't actually create/destroy any snapshots, things will behave as before.
I'm merging this now because there was relatively extensive surgery on the MDS to include this support, and I'd like to shake out the resulting bugs sooner rather than later. This also precipitated a lot of cleanups and bug fixes. If you'd like to try out the snapshots, it's pretty fun. The main caveat is you snapshots on the fs root directory don't work right... it has to be a subdirectory. Something like so: $ mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /ceph $ mkdir /ceph/foo $ touch /ceph/foo/asdf $ mkdir /ceph/foo/.snap/my_first_snapshot $ rm /ceph/foo/asdf $ ls -al /ceph/foo/.snap/* /ceph/foo etc. 'rmdir' will remove a snapshot (although disk space isn't being reclaimed yet). Fun! sage ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ceph-devel mailing list Ceph-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ceph-devel
