Fixed In Version: ceph-17.2.6-126.el9cp
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.Snapshot data is no longer lost after setting `writing` flags Previously, in clients, if the `writing` flag was set to ‘1’ when the `Fb` caps were used, it would be skipped in case of any dirty caps and reuse the existing capsnap, which is incorrect. Due to this, two consecutive snapshots would be overwritten and lose data. With this fix, the `writing` flags are correctly set and no snapshot data is lost.

Description Xiubo Li 2023-07-20 08:56:16 UTC 
When making snapshots if the Fb is being used because of the buffer is not flushed yet. Then it will defer flushing the snapcap back to MDS.

And then if the file is overwrote and then a new snapshot is made then the first snapcap will be overwrote too.
