Hello Jaroslav, thank you for you reply..

I found your info a bit confusing. The first command suggests that the VM is shut down and later you are talking about live migration. So how are you migrating data online or offline? online, the VM is started after migration prepare command:

..

...

rbd migration prepare ssd/D1 sata/D1Z virsh create xml_new.xml ..

In the case of live migration, I would suggest looking at the fsfreeze(proxmox use it) command.

I don't think this is related, I'm not concerned about FS consistency during snapshotting, but the fact, that checksums of the snapshot which should be same differs after migration.. to clarify the usecase, we've noticed backups corruption for volumes which were migrated between pools during backups (using snapshots and moving of them to other (SATA) pool) BR nik

Hope it helps!

Best Regards,

Jaroslav Shejbal

Dear ceph users and developers,

we're struggling with strange issue which I think might be a bug causing snapshot data corruption while migrating RBD image

we've tracked it to minimal set of steps to reproduce using VM with one 32G drive:

rbd create --size 32768 sata/D2 virsh create xml_orig.xml rbd snap create ssd/D1@snap1 rbd export-diff ssd/D1@snap1 - | rbd import-diff - sata/D2 rbd export --export-format 1 --no-progress ssd/D1@snap1 - | xxh64sum 505dde3c49775773 rbd export --export-format 1 --no-progress sata/D2@snap1 - | xxh64sum 505dde3c49775773 # <- checksums match - OK

virsh shutdown VM rbd migration prepare ssd/D1 sata/D1Z virsh create xml_new.xml rbd snap create sata/D1Z@snap2 rbd export-diff --from-snap snap1 sata/D1Z@snap2 - | rbd import-diff - sata/D2 rbd migration execute sata/D1Z rbd migration commit sata/D1Z rbd export --export-format 1 --no-progress sata/D1Z@snap2 - | xxh64sum 19892545c742c1de rbd export --export-format 1 --no-progress sata/D2@snap2 - | xxh64sum cc045975baf74ba8 # <- snapshosts differ

OS is alma 9 based, kernel 5.15.105, CEPH 17.2.6, qemu-8.0.3 we tried disabling VM disk caches as well as discard, to no avail.

my first question is, is it correct to assume creating snapshots while live migrating data is safe? if so, any ideas on where the problem could be?

If I could provide more info, please let me know

with regards
