Eric, Thanks for the reply and info about the changes coming to the RBD driver for Newton. Since the changes are slated to hit in Newton is there a plan to backport? This seems to me to be an important piece of being able to use Ceph effectively for storage. What have people been doing up to this point for backup and disaster recovery? Is there a current work around for dealing with this limitation? Thanks,
