This is live snapshots with qemu/rbd (using proxmox), so as well as
the image snasphsot there is a raw image created containing the VM
state. My testing has been with small 3 node clusters, so they weren't
particularly fast.

- Taking snapshots is ok

- Restoring snapshots is very slow, usually half an hour plus, sometimes hours.

- Deletion is equally slow.

OTOH, qcow2 snasphots over cephfs, gluster, lizard etc only take a
couple of minutes.

Not familiar with them

Would live to know :)
