Ceph Snapshots?

[dima1002]

Hi,

we have a Proxmox cluster with CEPH. Can we somehow enable automatic snapshots like with ZFS?

If yes, how does it work?

Maybe with cv4pve-autosnap? That script is using the PVE API for snapshotting, so it does the same thing as manually creating a snapshot from webUI. So it should support all snapshot-capable storages that PVE officially supports:

Also got the benefit that you get snapshots with proper data integrity, you wouldn't get with something like zfs-auto-snapshot, because only when doing the snapshots through the PVE API it will do a fsfreeze using the QEMU guest agent to flush the caches before taking the snapshot.
