Description Paul Cuzner 2014-04-11 02:25:21 UTC

Description of problem:
In the current plan, the snap create syntax mandates the admin provides a name for the snapshot. Whilst having the ability to supply a name is great, it should not be mandated and should have a name created by default if one is not supplied.

For example

<volume_name>_YYYYddMM_hhMM

Adopting this approach will mean snapshots by default get sensible names that allow admins and users to see the recovery point of the snapshot - which would benefit user based self service restore of files form snapshots.


This was discussed on the gluster-devel mailing list, with the outcome being to raise the RFE - date April 9th, dev Rajesh Joseph

Feature requests make most sense against the 'mainline' release, there is no ETA for an implementation and requests might get forgotten when filed against a particular version.

Comment 2 Mohammed Rafi KC 2018-10-16 04:46:18 UTC

This RFE will be tracked as a git hub issue https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/issues/1284 and will be considered to fix in glusterd2
