Hi,

I have a working RBD Mirror Setup using ceph version 14.2.4 on both sides.
I want to have a clone of a non primay image.

I do it this way:

1. create snapshot of primary image
2. wait for the snapshot to appear on the backup cluster
3. create a clone in backup cluster (using Simplified RBD Image Cloning - no 
snap protect)
4. delete the snapshot of the primary image - this is to save space because the 
clone will last a long time
5. if I do rbd --cluster backup snap ls --all IMAGENAME it presents the deleted 
snapshot in the namespace trash
6. delete the clone
7. I expected that deleting the clone would purge the snapshot from trash, but 
it doesn't
8. trash purge or trash remove is impossible (read only filesystem)

Only possbility for me to purge the trash is to disable und reenable the image 
mirror.

Is there something wrong in this order.
Essential for me is the snaphot removal of the primary image.
Flatten the clone is no option because of space.

Regards,
Yves
