</span>For gluster-block it may be easier to have snapshot support in<br>
tcmu-runner instead? The qcow2 format would be ideal, and is in use by<br>
different Virtual Machine approaches running on Gluster already. There<br>
even is an upstream issue open for it:<br>

<br>
Contributing towards this might be quicker than implementing file<br>
snapshot support in Gluster?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We tried that route by talking Fam Zheng, but the solution won't be delivered in the timelines we are looking for.<br>So we went with this approach.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
