Hello, 




I have a few questions regarding snapshots and fstrim with cache tiers. 




In the "cache tier and erasure coding FAQ" related to ICE 1.2 (based on 
Firefly), Inktank says "Snapshots are not supported in conjunction with cache 
tiers." 

What are the risks of using snapshots with cache tiers ? Would this "better not 
use it recommandation" still be true with Giant or Hammer ? 




Regarding the fstrim command, it doesn't seem to work with cache tiers. The 
freed up blocks don't get back in the ceph cluster. 
Can someone confirm this ? Is there something we can do to get those freed up 
blocks back in the cluster ? 




Also, can we run an fstrim task from the cluster side ? That is, without having 
to map and mount each rbd image or rely on the client to operate this task ? 




Best regards,
