Hi,
One short question : Is there any chance to see locks on rbd/images in the next release ?
Thank you :)

Eric,
Well, in case where several servers may start the same virtual machines after a reboot for
exemple.
http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2013-August/003887.html
I've seen this hook here : http://www.wogri.at/en/linux/ceph-libvirt-locking/
But it's a hook...
Yes, I may try to write a patch. My coding skills are surely not as good as yours but I
'd be glad to make a try :)

Isn't the existing virtlockd support already sufficient for this? If
not, what is preventing the virtlock framework from interacting with rbd
disks?

Ok, I'll take a look.

Nothing really. The current impl only deals with disks with type=file
or type=block, ignoring type=network. We could extend it to cope with
the latter though - either using a URI to uniquely identify the network
storage, or better yet using some unique volume ID if available.

Yes it might be useful when not using an orchestrator. Can't we use the
"block_name_prefix" of a volume to do so ? It seems to be unique and to be the
entry point to identify an image (via objects) across a pool :
rbd -p mypool info myvm
rbd image 'myvm'
Size 10240 MB in 2560 objects
Order 22 (4096 kB objects)
block_name_prefix: rb.0.11a6.238e1f29
format: 1
rados -p mypool ls | grep ^rb.0.11a6.238e1f29 | wc -l
630 objects

That`s an orchestrator issue and should be fixed using orchestrator
capabilities IMO.
