Do you have a patch link which I can just apply patch to glance and move on instead of upgrading the entire openstack?

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.



Thanks & Best Regards,

Abhishek Kekane

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.
