Thanks Alastair for the feedback. As of today we have auto-delete which when enabled deletes the oldest snapshot on exceeding the snap-max-soft-limit. Is this what you were trying to achieve, or were you thinking of more of a policy based approach, where like creation, deletion policies can be set, to target specific snapshots?

I don't know if I did something wrong, but I found the location that the scheduler wanted the shared storage was problematic as I recall it was under /run/gluster/snaps. On CentOS 7 this failed to mount on boot. I hacked the scheduler to use a location under /var/lib.

I also think there needs to be a way to schedule the removal of snapshots.

    Hi,

    Snaphsots in gluster have a scheduler, which relies heavily on
    crontab, and the shared storage. I would like people using this
    scheduler, or for people to use this scheduler, and provide us
    feedback on it's experience. We are looking for feedback on ease
    of use, complexity of features, additional feature support etc.

    It will help us in deciding if we need to revamp the existing
    scheduler, or maybe rethink relying on crontab and re-writing our
    own, thus providing us more flexibility. Thanks.

    Regards,
    Avra
