[Users] Deleting a snapshot of eight disks took more than fifteen minutes

2012-07-03 Thread Shu Ming
Is it reasonable?   I created snapshot1 and snapshot2 for the eight 
disks and then tried to delete snapshot2.   And it took 15+ minutes to 
finish the operation.


Here is the disk list:

It depends. 

Block device or NFS?
Did you had data on the deleted snapshot?
Did you had wipe after delete marked or not?
Did the snapshots contain data?
Did you delete a snapshot or did you revert to a snapshot?

 Just deleting a snapshot.

Considering that:
1. You had data on the snapshots
2. You've deleted snapshots 
3. You have 8 disks

Then is sounds reasonable.

Deleting a snapshot is merging two files into one. For the sake of roll back it 
is done by actually copying the first, writing the changes of the second on top 
and then inserting this new file into the snapshots chain.  This is time 
consuming depending on your storage performance and the amount of data in the 
snapshots. And you do it 8 times, one per disk.
