Hi Ilya, That explains it. Thank you for clarification!

Hi,
I have an image with a snapshot and some changes after snapshot. ``` $ rbd du backup/f0408e1e-06b6-437b-a2b5-70e3751d0a26 NAME PROVISIONED USED f0408e1e-06b6-437b-a2b5-70e3751d0a26@snapshot-eb085877-7557-4620-9c01-c5587b857029 10 GiB 2.4 GiB f0408e1e-06b6-437b-a2b5-70e3751d0a26 10 GiB 2.4 GiB <TOTAL> 10 GiB 4.8 GiB ``` If there is no changes after snapshot, the image line will show 0 used.
I did export and import. ``` $ rbd export --export-format 2 backup/f0408e1e-06b6-437b-a2b5-70e3751d0a26 - | rbd import --export-format 2 - backup/test Exporting image: 100% complete...done. Importing image: 100% complete...done. ```
When check the imported image, the image line shows 0 used. ``` $ rbd du backup/test NAME PROVISIONED USED test@snapshot-eb085877-7557-4620-9c01-c5587b857029 10 GiB 2.4 GiB test 10 GiB 0 B <TOTAL> 10 GiB 2.4 GiB ``` Any clues how that happened? I'd expect the same du as the source.
Hi Tony, "rbd import" command does zero detection at 4k granularity by default. If the "after snapshot" changes just zeroed everything in the snapshot, such a discrepancy in "rbd du" USED column is expected. Thanks, Ilya
