Hi,

Regarding existing file snapshot:
--------------------------------
Currently we have qemu-block xlator which helps in creating a file based 
snapshots,
the biggest limitation about this feature is that, it allows creation of 
snapshots
only for qcow2 file types (QEMU specific).

what about other VM image formats (say VMDK, VDI ...)?
what about general file formats (txt, docx, md ... another 10000)?


Improvement:
------------
Suggested a feature that allows you to take a snapshot on any kind of file with 
the
help of reflinks. 

Here is the link to specs page (which also has a POC);
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-specs/compare/master...pkalever:master

I need all of your blessings to move this into action.

Thanks,
