For some real world context, we seem to accumulate snapshots using our local approach, and are not that focused on, or attentive about removing them. The 'highwater mark' of 39, on a machine that has been around since it was provisioned: 2010-01-05 [root@xxx backups]# ./count-snapshots.sh | sort -n | tail -3 38 vm_64099 38 vm_98036 39 vm_06359 Accumulating large numbers of snapshots seems more the function of pets, than ephemeral 'cattle' I wrote the first paragraph without looking up the 'owners' of the images. As I dereference the VM id's, all of the top ten in that list turn out to be mailservers, radius servers, name servers, and such, where the business unit owners chose not (or neglect) to 'winnow' their herd. There are no ephemeral use units in the top ten -- Russ herrold _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
