Hi Frank,

one thing that might be relevant here: If you disable transparent lock transitions, you cannot create snapshots of images that are in use in such a way.

This may or may not be relevant in your case. I'm just mentioning it because I myself was surprised by that.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi Ilya,

thanks for the info, it did help. I agree, its the orchestration layer's 
responsibility to handle things right. I have a case open already with support 
and it looks like there is indeed a bug on that side. I was mainly after a way 
that ceph librbd clients could offer a safety net in case such bugs occur. Its 
a bit like the four-eyes principle, having an orchestration layer do things 
right is good, but having a second instance confirming the same thing is much 
better. A bug in one layer will not cause a catastrophe, because the second 
layer catches it.

I'm not sure if the rbd lock capabilities are sufficiently powerful to provide 
a command-line interface to that. The flag RBD_LOCK_MODE_EXCLUSIVE seems the 
only way and if qemu is not using it, there seems not a lot one can do in 
scripts.

Thanks for your help and best regards,
