Does this mean the space is allocated, but actually empty so can let’s say overwrite?

RBD is (as the name implies) is a block device layer. Block devices do not have a concept of content, file, directories or even allocated or unallocated space. They are just continuous byte streams with a certain size. The _filesystem_ on top of the block device implements these concepts, and also tracks free / unallocated space. And a filesystem is able to inform the block layer about allocations using TRIM and DISCARD calls (e.g. tools like fstrim or corresponding mount options). RBD usually supports trim operation in recent kernels (krbd) or with certain configuration options (librbd) Regards, Burkhard _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io ________________________________ This message is confidential and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
