    Linked clone support with Ceph?

    Are there any issues with creating a linked clone to a Ceph RBD share, or is there a faster way to do this? I’m trying to find the best way to share “live” data between multiple PVE hosts, with a high transfer rate. The VM images that I want to share are in qcow2 format.
