The C++ librados API uses STL strings so it can properly handle embedded NULLs. You can make a backup copy of rbd_children using 'rados cp'. However, if you don't care about the snapshots and you've already flattened the all the images, you could just delete the rbd_children object so that librbd no longer thinks any image is a child of another.

But I'm hesitant because I don't want to make a mistake. The docs for rados_omap_get_next() say that key is NULL-terminated. However looking at the hex for listomapvals rbd_children I see: key: (34 bytes): 0000 : 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0e 00 00 00 63 65 31 62 : ............ce1b 0010 : 33 33 34 35 64 65 66 64 32 30 74 00 00 00 00 00 : 3345defd20t..... 0020 : 00 00 : .. value: (22 bytes) : 0000 : 01 00 00 00 0e 00 00 00 31 63 63 30 35 61 31 33 : ........1cc05a13 0010 : 62 31 61 65 66 32 : b1aef2 What am I missing? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
