the feature that is missing is user friendly labeling so that users 
don't have to parse long time-stamps in the snapshot name to figure

"Last Week" etc.  The system should handle rotating the labels 
automatically, when necessary.  So some sort of ability to create and 
manipulate labels on snapshots and then expose them as links in the 
.snaps directory would probably be a start.

Not really.  this is useful  as it distributes the snapshot control over
all the cluster members,  I am  looking for the ability to specify a
snapshot schedule like this :

frequent snapshots every 15 mins, keeping 4 snapshots
hourly snapshots every hour, keeping 24 snapshots
daily snapshots every day, keeping 31 snapshots
weekly snapshots every week, keeping 7 snapshots
monthly snapshots every month, keeping 12 snapshots.

Clearly this could be handled via the scheduling as described,  but the
feature that is missing is user friendly labeling so that users don't have
to parse long time-stamps in the snapshot name to figure out what is the
most recent snapshot.  Ideally they could have labels like "Now", "Fifteen
Minutes Ago",  "Thirty Minutes Ago", "Sunday", "Last Week" etc.  The system

[Gluster-users] autosnap feature?

2015-09-10 Thread Alastair Neil
Wondering if there were any plans for a fexible and  easy to use
snapshotting feature along the lines of zfs autosnap scipts.  I imagine at
the least it would need the ability to rename snapshots.
