[pve-devel] kvm disk template implementation ideas

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

response for sheepdog:
for "rollback", we just need to specify snapshot tag in the qemu command line.

so rollback it's just update the vm config file, to update the info on which snapshot we run (then pass this info to qemu command line)

qemu sheepdog:[vdi name]:[snapshot tag or id]

Yes, this seem very good. (to be honest, I didn't have used vmware since 4 years ;) 
I like to see proxmox as a vmware competitor :) 

ok, so we need child->parent to maintain the tree view. 

So when we rollback, we need to update a value to know on which snapshot we are running. 


Also need to update child->parent pointer when we delete an intermediate snapshot. 



About zfs rollback, it seem to be the implementation of zfs which limit to work only on the last snapshot. 
it's a main tree without branchs. 
By default zfs can't rollback to previous snapshot if a more recent snapshot exist,so it thow an exception. 
So it should be ok, user simply need to delete more recent snapshots before rollback. 


For sheepdog, I have tell the question for rollback to the mailing list.

Yes, I guess users expect that functionality.
