-===============================================
- rbd -- manage rados block device (RBD) images
-===============================================
-
-.. program:: rbd
-
-Synopsis
-========
-
-| **rbd** [ -c *ceph.conf* ] [ -m *monaddr* ] [--cluster *cluster-name*]
- [ -p | --pool *pool* ] [ *command* ... ]
-
-
-Description
-===========
-
-**rbd** is a utility for manipulating rados block device (RBD) images,
-used by the Linux rbd driver and the rbd storage driver for QEMU/KVM.
-RBD images are simple block devices that are striped over objects and
-stored in a RADOS object store. The size of the objects the image is
-striped over must be a power of two.
-
-
-Options
-=======
-
-.. option:: -c ceph.conf, --conf ceph.conf
-
- Use ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default /etc/ceph/ceph.conf to
- determine monitor addresses during startup.
-
-.. option:: -m monaddress[:port]
-
- Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ceph.conf).
-
-.. option:: --cluster cluster-name
-
- Use different cluster name as compared to default cluster name *ceph*.
-
-.. option:: -p pool-name, --pool pool-name
-
- Interact with the given pool. Required by most commands.
-
-.. option:: --no-progress
-
- Do not output progress information (goes to standard error by
- default for some commands).
-
-
-Parameters
-==========
-
-.. option:: --image-format format-id
-
- Specifies which object layout to use. The default is 2.
-
- * format 1 - (deprecated) Use the original format for a new rbd image. This
- format is understood by all versions of librbd and the kernel rbd module,
- but does not support newer features like cloning.
-
- * format 2 - Use the second rbd format, which is supported by
- librbd and kernel since version 3.11 (except for striping). This adds
- support for cloning and is more easily extensible to allow more
- features in the future.
-
-.. option:: -s size-in-M/G/T, --size size-in-M/G/T
-
- Specifies the size of the new rbd image or the new size of the existing rbd
- image in M/G/T. If no suffix is given, unit M is assumed.
-
-.. option:: --object-size size-in-B/K/M
-
- Specifies the object size in B/K/M. Object size will be rounded up the
- nearest power of two; if no suffix is given, unit B is assumed. The default
- object size is 4M, smallest is 4K and maximum is 32M.
-
-.. option:: --stripe-unit size-in-B/K/M
-
- Specifies the stripe unit size in B/K/M. If no suffix is given, unit B is
- assumed. See striping section (below) for more details.
-
-.. option:: --stripe-count num
-
- Specifies the number of objects to stripe over before looping back
- to the first object. See striping section (below) for more details.
-
-.. option:: --snap snap
-
- Specifies the snapshot name for the specific operation.
-
-.. option:: --id username
-
- Specifies the username (without the ``client.`` prefix) to use with the map command.
-
-.. option:: --keyring filename
-
- Specifies a keyring file containing a secret for the specified user
- to use with the map command. If not specified, the default keyring
- locations will be searched.
-
-.. option:: --keyfile filename
-
- Specifies a file containing the secret key of ``--id user`` to use with the map command.
- This option is overridden by ``--keyring`` if the latter is also specified.
-
-.. option:: --shared lock-tag
-
- Option for `lock add` that allows multiple clients to lock the
- same image if they use the same tag. The tag is an arbitrary
- string. This is useful for situations where an image must
- be open from more than one client at once, like during
- live migration of a virtual machine, or for use underneath
- a clustered filesystem.
-
-.. option:: --format format
-
- Specifies output formatting (default: plain, json, xml)
-
-.. option:: --pretty-format
-
- Make json or xml formatted output more human-readable.
-
-.. option:: -o krbd-options, --options krbd-options
-
- Specifies which options to use when mapping or unmapping an image via the
- rbd kernel driver. krbd-options is a comma-separated list of options
- (similar to mount(8) mount options). See kernel rbd (krbd) options section
- below for more details.
-
-.. option:: --read-only
-
- Map the image read-only. Equivalent to -o ro.
-
-.. option:: --image-feature feature-name
-
- Specifies which RBD format 2 feature should be enabled when creating
- an image. Multiple features can be enabled by repeating this option
- multiple times. The following features are supported:
-
- * layering: layering support
- * striping: striping v2 support
- * exclusive-lock: exclusive locking support
- * object-map: object map support (requires exclusive-lock)
- * fast-diff: fast diff calculations (requires object-map)
- * deep-flatten: snapshot flatten support
- * journaling: journaled IO support (requires exclusive-lock)
-
-.. option:: --image-shared
-
- Specifies that the image will be used concurrently by multiple clients.
- This will disable features that are dependent upon exclusive ownership
- of the image.
-
-.. option:: --whole-object
-
- Specifies that the diff should be limited to the extents of a full object
- instead of showing intra-object deltas. When the object map feature is
- enabled on an image, limiting the diff to the object extents will
- dramatically improve performance since the differences can be computed
- by examining the in-memory object map instead of querying RADOS for each
- object within the image.
-
-.. option:: --limit
-
- Specifies the limit for the number of snapshots permitted.
-
-Commands
-========
-
-.. TODO rst "option" directive seems to require --foo style options, parsing breaks on subcommands.. the args show up as bold too
-
-:command:`ls` [-l | --long] [*pool-name*]
- Will list all rbd images listed in the rbd_directory object. With
- -l, also show snapshots, and use longer-format output including
- size, parent (if clone), format, etc.
-
-:command:`du` [-p | --pool *pool-name*] [*image-spec* | *snap-spec*]
- Will calculate the provisioned and actual disk usage of all images and
- associated snapshots within the specified pool. It can also be used against
- individual images and snapshots.
-
- If the RBD fast-diff feature is not enabled on images, this operation will
- require querying the OSDs for every potential object within the image.
-
-:command:`info` *image-spec* | *snap-spec*
- Will dump information (such as size and object size) about a specific rbd image.
- If image is a clone, information about its parent is also displayed.
- If a snapshot is specified, whether it is protected is shown as well.
-
-:command:`create` (-s | --size *size-in-M/G/T*) [--image-format *format-id*] [--object-size *size-in-B/K/M*] [--stripe-unit *size-in-B/K/M* --stripe-count *num*] [--image-feature *feature-name*]... [--image-shared] *image-spec*
- Will create a new rbd image. You must also specify the size via --size. The
- --stripe-unit and --stripe-count arguments are optional, but must be used together.
-
-:command:`clone` [--object-size *size-in-B/K/M*] [--stripe-unit *size-in-B/K/M* --stripe-count *num*] [--image-feature *feature-name*] [--image-shared] *parent-snap-spec* *child-image-spec*
- Will create a clone (copy-on-write child) of the parent snapshot.
- Object size will be identical to that of the parent image unless
- specified. Size will be the same as the parent snapshot. The --stripe-unit
- and --stripe-count arguments are optional, but must be used together.
-
- The parent snapshot must be protected (see `rbd snap protect`).
- This requires image format 2.
-
-:command:`flatten` *image-spec*
- If image is a clone, copy all shared blocks from the parent snapshot and
- make the child independent of the parent, severing the link between
- parent snap and child. The parent snapshot can be unprotected and
- deleted if it has no further dependent clones.
-
- This requires image format 2.
-
-:command:`children` *snap-spec*
- List the clones of the image at the given snapshot. This checks
- every pool, and outputs the resulting poolname/imagename.
-
- This requires image format 2.
-
-:command:`resize` (-s | --size *size-in-M/G/T*) [--allow-shrink] *image-spec*
- Resize rbd image. The size parameter also needs to be specified.
- The --allow-shrink option lets the size be reduced.
-
-:command:`rm` *image-spec*
- Delete an rbd image (including all data blocks). If the image has
- snapshots, this fails and nothing is deleted.
-
-:command:`export` [--export-format *format (1 or 2)*] (*image-spec* | *snap-spec*) [*dest-path*]
- Export image to dest path (use - for stdout).
- The --export-format accepts '1' or '2' currently. Format 2 allow us to export not only the content
- of image, but also the snapshots and other properties, such as image_order, features.
-
-:command:`import` [--export-format *format (1 or 2)*] [--image-format *format-id*] [--object-size *size-in-B/K/M*] [--stripe-unit *size-in-B/K/M* --stripe-count *num*] [--image-feature *feature-name*]... [--image-shared] *src-path* [*image-spec*]
- Create a new image and imports its data from path (use - for
- stdin). The import operation will try to create sparse rbd images
- if possible. For import from stdin, the sparsification unit is
- the data block size of the destination image (object size).
-
- The --stripe-unit and --stripe-count arguments are optional, but must be
- used together.
-
- The --export-format accepts '1' or '2' currently. Format 2 allow us to import not only the content
- of image, but also the snapshots and other properties, such as image_order, features.
-
-:command:`export-diff` [--from-snap *snap-name*] [--whole-object] (*image-spec* | *snap-spec*) *dest-path*
- Export an incremental diff for an image to dest path (use - for stdout). If
- an initial snapshot is specified, only changes since that snapshot are included; otherwise,
- any regions of the image that contain data are included. The end snapshot is specified
- using the standard --snap option or @snap syntax (see below). The image diff format includes
- metadata about image size changes, and the start and end snapshots. It efficiently represents
- discarded or 'zero' regions of the image.
-
-:command:`merge-diff` *first-diff-path* *second-diff-path* *merged-diff-path*
- Merge two continuous incremental diffs of an image into one single diff. The
- first diff's end snapshot must be equal with the second diff's start snapshot.
- The first diff could be - for stdin, and merged diff could be - for stdout, which
- enables multiple diff files to be merged using something like
- 'rbd merge-diff first second - | rbd merge-diff - third result'. Note this command
- currently only support the source incremental diff with stripe_count == 1
-
-:command:`import-diff` *src-path* *image-spec*
- Import an incremental diff of an image and applies it to the current image. If the diff
- was generated relative to a start snapshot, we verify that snapshot already exists before
- continuing. If there was an end snapshot we verify it does not already exist before
- applying the changes, and create the snapshot when we are done.
-
-:command:`diff` [--from-snap *snap-name*] [--whole-object] *image-spec* | *snap-spec*
- Dump a list of byte extents in the image that have changed since the specified start
- snapshot, or since the image was created. Each output line includes the starting offset
- (in bytes), the length of the region (in bytes), and either 'zero' or 'data' to indicate
- whether the region is known to be zeros or may contain other data.
-
-:command:`cp` (*src-image-spec* | *src-snap-spec*) *dest-image-spec*
- Copy the content of a src-image into the newly created dest-image.
- dest-image will have the same size, object size, and image format as src-image.
-
-:command:`mv` *src-image-spec* *dest-image-spec*
- Rename an image. Note: rename across pools is not supported.
-
-:command:`image-meta list` *image-spec*
- Show metadata held on the image. The first column is the key
- and the second column is the value.
-
-:command:`image-meta get` *image-spec* *key*
- Get metadata value with the key.
-
-:command:`image-meta set` *image-spec* *key* *value*
- Set metadata key with the value. They will displayed in `image-meta list`.
-
-:command:`image-meta remove` *image-spec* *key*
- Remove metadata key with the value.
-
-:command:`object-map rebuild` *image-spec* | *snap-spec*
- Rebuild an invalid object map for the specified image. An image snapshot can be
- specified to rebuild an invalid object map for a snapshot.
-
-:command:`snap ls` *image-spec*
- Dump the list of snapshots inside a specific image.
-
-:command:`snap create` *snap-spec*
- Create a new snapshot. Requires the snapshot name parameter specified.
-
-:command:`snap rollback` *snap-spec*
- Rollback image content to snapshot. This will iterate through the entire blocks
- array and update the data head content to the snapshotted version.
-
-:command:`snap rm` [--force] *snap-spec*
- Remove the specified snapshot.
-
-:command:`snap purge` *image-spec*
- Remove all snapshots from an image.
-
-:command:`snap protect` *snap-spec*
- Protect a snapshot from deletion, so that clones can be made of it
- (see `rbd clone`). Snapshots must be protected before clones are made;
- protection implies that there exist dependent cloned children that
- refer to this snapshot. `rbd clone` will fail on a nonprotected
- snapshot.
-
- This requires image format 2.
-
-:command:`snap unprotect` *snap-spec*
- Unprotect a snapshot from deletion (undo `snap protect`). If cloned
- children remain, `snap unprotect` fails. (Note that clones may exist
- in different pools than the parent snapshot.)
-
- This requires image format 2.
-
-:command:`snap limit set` [--limit] *limit* *image-spec*
- Set a limit for the number of snapshots allowed on an image.
-
-:command:`snap limit clear` *image-spec*
- Remove any previously set limit on the number of snapshots allowed on
- an image.
-
-:command:`map` [-o | --options *krbd-options* ] [--read-only] *image-spec* | *snap-spec*
- Map the specified image to a block device via the rbd kernel module.
-
-:command:`unmap` [-o | --options *krbd-options* ] *image-spec* | *snap-spec* | *device-path*
- Unmap the block device that was mapped via the rbd kernel module.
-
-:command:`showmapped`
- Show the rbd images that are mapped via the rbd kernel module.
-
-:command:`nbd map` [--device *device-path*] [--read-only] *image-spec* | *snap-spec*
- Map the specified image to a block device via the rbd-nbd tool.
-
-:command:`nbd unmap` *device-path*
- Unmap the block device that was mapped via the rbd-nbd tool.
-
-:command:`nbd list`
- Show the list of used nbd devices via the rbd-nbd tool.
-
-:command:`status` *image-spec*
- Show the status of the image, including which clients have it open.
-
-:command:`feature disable` *image-spec* *feature-name*...
- Disable the specified feature on the specified image. Multiple features can
- be specified.
-
-:command:`feature enable` *image-spec* *feature-name*...
- Enable the specified feature on the specified image. Multiple features can
- be specified.
-
-:command:`lock list` *image-spec*
- Show locks held on the image. The first column is the locker
- to use with the `lock remove` command.
-
-:command:`lock add` [--shared *lock-tag*] *image-spec* *lock-id*
- Lock an image. The lock-id is an arbitrary name for the user's
- convenience. By default, this is an exclusive lock, meaning it
- will fail if the image is already locked. The --shared option
- changes this behavior. Note that locking does not affect
- any operation other than adding a lock. It does not
- protect an image from being deleted.
-
-:command:`lock remove` *image-spec* *lock-id* *locker*
- Release a lock on an image. The lock id and locker are
- as output by lock ls.
-
-:command:`bench` --io-type <read | write> [--io-size *size-in-B/K/M/G/T*] [--io-threads *num-ios-in-flight*] [--io-total *size-in-B/K/M/G/T*] [--io-pattern seq | rand] *image-spec*
- Generate a series of IOs to the image and measure the IO throughput and
- latency. If no suffix is given, unit B is assumed for both --io-size and
- --io-total. Defaults are: --io-size 4096, --io-threads 16, --io-total 1G,
- --io-pattern seq.
-
-:command:`trash ls` [*pool-name*]
- List all entries from trash.
-
-:command:`trash mv` *image-spec*
- Move an image to the trash. Images, even ones actively in-use by
- clones, can be moved to the trash and deleted at a later time.
-
-:command:`trash rm` *image-id*
- Delete an image from trash. If image deferment time has not expired
- you can not removed it unless use force. But an actively in-use by clones
- or has snapshots can not be removed.
-
-:command:`trash restore` *image-id*
- Restore an image from trash.
-
-Image and snap specs
-====================
-
-| *image-spec* is [*pool-name*]/*image-name*
-| *snap-spec* is [*pool-name*]/*image-name*\ @\ *snap-name*
-
-The default for *pool-name* is "rbd". If an image name contains a slash
-character ('/'), *pool-name* is required.
-
-You may specify each name individually, using --pool, --image and --snap
-options, but this is discouraged in favor of the above spec syntax.
-
-Striping
-========
-
-RBD images are striped over many objects, which are then stored by the
-Ceph distributed object store (RADOS). As a result, read and write
-requests for the image are distributed across many nodes in the
-cluster, generally preventing any single node from becoming a
-bottleneck when individual images get large or busy.
-
-The striping is controlled by three parameters:
-
-.. option:: object-size
-
- The size of objects we stripe over is a power of two. It will be rounded up the nearest power of two.
- The default object size is 4 MB, smallest is 4K and maximum is 32M.
-
-.. option:: stripe_unit
-
- Each [*stripe_unit*] contiguous bytes are stored adjacently in the same object, before we move on
- to the next object.
-
-.. option:: stripe_count
-
- After we write [*stripe_unit*] bytes to [*stripe_count*] objects, we loop back to the initial object
- and write another stripe, until the object reaches its maximum size. At that point,
- we move on to the next [*stripe_count*] objects.
-
-By default, [*stripe_unit*] is the same as the object size and [*stripe_count*] is 1. Specifying a different
-[*stripe_unit*] requires that the STRIPINGV2 feature be supported (added in Ceph v0.53) and format 2 images be
-used.
-
-
-Kernel rbd (krbd) options
-=========================
-
-Most of these options are useful mainly for debugging and benchmarking. The
-default values are set in the kernel and may therefore depend on the version of
-the running kernel.
-
-Per client instance `rbd map` options:
-
-* fsid=aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee - FSID that should be assumed by
- the client.
-
-* ip=a.b.c.d[:p] - IP and, optionally, port the client should use.
-
-* share - Enable sharing of client instances with other mappings (default).
-
-* noshare - Disable sharing of client instances with other mappings.
-
-* crc - Enable CRC32C checksumming for data writes (default).
-
-* nocrc - Disable CRC32C checksumming for data writes.
-
-* cephx_require_signatures - Require cephx message signing (since 3.19,
- default).
-
-* nocephx_require_signatures - Don't require cephx message signing (since
- 3.19).
-
-* tcp_nodelay - Disable Nagle's algorithm on client sockets (since 4.0,
- default).
-
-* notcp_nodelay - Enable Nagle's algorithm on client sockets (since 4.0).
-
-* cephx_sign_messages - Enable message signing (since 4.4, default).
-
-* nocephx_sign_messages - Disable message signing (since 4.4).
-
-* mount_timeout=x - A timeout on various steps in `rbd map` and `rbd unmap`
- sequences (default is 60 seconds). In particular, since 4.2 this can be used
- to ensure that `rbd unmap` eventually times out when there is no network
- connection to a cluster.
-
-* osdkeepalive=x - OSD keepalive timeout (default is 5 seconds).
-
-* osd_idle_ttl=x - OSD idle TTL (default is 60 seconds).
-
-Per mapping (block device) `rbd map` options:
-
-* rw - Map the image read-write (default).
-
-* ro - Map the image read-only. Equivalent to --read-only.
-
-* queue_depth=x - queue depth (since 4.2, default is 128 requests).
-
-* lock_on_read - Acquire exclusive lock on reads, in addition to writes and
- discards (since 4.9).
-
-* exclusive - Disable automatic exclusive lock transitions (since 4.12).
-
-`rbd unmap` options:
-
-* force - Force the unmapping of a block device that is open (since 4.9). The
- driver will wait for running requests to complete and then unmap; requests
- sent to the driver after initiating the unmap will be failed.
-
