Hi Abhishek/Eugen, I found this solution and it works with patches or anything. Just flatten the image as Eugen mentioned without doing any hassle. Just find children and flatten it and delete the image from glance. I wish glance api had a flag to pass --flatten flag to make it work. @Abhishek Kekane <akekane@redhat.com> I would like to follow up with you about your patch. Why is it not working for me? # rbd children images/3708f961-fb74-49f1-ab9b-40cf7954abed volumes/volume-f2b2aec2-cc57-49e5-aca1-54b5a7ee9f3a # rbd du volumes/volume-f2b2aec2-cc57-49e5-aca1-54b5a7ee9f3a NAME PROVISIONED USED volume-f2b2aec2-cc57-49e5-aca1-54b5a7ee9f3a 40 GiB 8.1 GiB <-- 8.1 GB # rbd flatten volumes/volume-f2b2aec2-cc57-49e5-aca1-54b5a7ee9f3a Image flatten: 100% complete...done. # rbd du volumes/volume-f2b2aec2-cc57-49e5-aca1-54b5a7ee9f3a NAME PROVISIONED USED volume-f2b2aec2-cc57-49e5-aca1-54b5a7ee9f3a 40 GiB 8.5 GiB <-- 8.5 GB # openstack image delete 3708f961-fb74-49f1-ab9b-40cf7954abed # On Wed, Jan 24, 2024 at 2:39 PM Satish Patel <satish.txt@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Abhishek,
Do you think this error means I have a protected snapshot?

I did apply this patch by patch command (manually) - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/glance_store/+/896447
Still getting errors. Do I need to do anything else like recreate instance or snapshot etc.

Hi Satish,
This needs to be applied on glance_store and not glance.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Abhishek,
I found a patch here - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/glance_store/+/896447 Can I just simplay apply this patch on existing glance and see if it works or not?

Hi Satish,
Which version of openstack are you using? In bobcat (glance_store version 4.6.0) we have added a feature [1] RBD Trash to cover the issue you described.
Pre bobcat (glance_store version < 4.6.0), deletion of snapshot will fail with the issue you described.

Folks,
I have two openstack clouds and both have their own Ceph backend storage.I am trying to migrate instances from openstack A to openstack B.
1. Take a snapshot from A 2. Export snapshot and import to B 3. Create instance on B 4. Delete snapshot - (I am getting error because its in-use)
Because it has a parent reference to that volume. How do I remove the reference so it will let me delete a snapshot. Reason I am asking is because I have so many VMs to migrate and don't want glance to have 100s of entities in those snapshots.
What is the alternative here? I can try qcow2 if that is the final solution to make it clean.
