You mean that if a given pool has a snapshot created, a subsequent 'rbd snap create' on an image placed in that very same pool would fail?
Yes, if you create a pool-wide snapshot, 'rbd snap create' in that pool would fail. This explains a little about how these work at the rados level: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/include/rados/librados.h#L664
A quick search through the RADOS and RBD documentation didn't turn anything up about this restriction, but I apologize if I missed it. Thanks Cláudio
