Description Avra Sengupta 2016-09-19 17:22:39 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently we use lvm based snapshots in the backend to create snapshot volumes of regular gluster volumes. We need to segregate the lvm specific code, and modularize it in a pluggable format, such that other backend filesystems and their respective snapshots too can be supported, without having to interfere with the basic snapshot infrastructure or other components.

REVIEW: http://review.gluster.org/16138 (This patch follows the discussion from the gluster-devel mail chain of, modularizing backend snapshot code as pluggable modules, which would essentially support more than one snapshot backend. For ex: lvm, zfs, brtfs etc.) posted (#1) for review on master by Anonymous Coward
