I have done this via a restart of the OSDs after adding the configuration
option in ceph.conf. It works fine. My Ceph version is 0.80.5.

One thing worth to note is that you'll sooner or later want to remove stale
snap_* subvolumes as leaving them will cause a slow increase of disk usage
on your OSD filesystem as the snapshots will hold references to extents
holding data that has been changed since.

Chris
