Subject: [PATCH 1/2] copy-before-write: allow specifying minimum cluster size
Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2024 16:51:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240308155158.830258-2-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240308155158.830258-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
Useful to make discard-source work in the context of backup fleecing
when the fleecing image has a larger granularity than the backup
target.
Copy-before-write operations will use at least this granularity and in
particular, discard requests to the source node will too. If the
granularity is too small, they will just be aligned down in
cbw_co_pdiscard_snapshot() and thus effectively ignored.
The QAPI uses uint32 so the value will be non-negative, but still fit
into a uint64_t.
