From dfc5606dc51381186de765243bab340c8e021868 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yehuda Sadeh Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 14:51:04 -0800 Subject: rbd: replace the rbd sysfs interface The new interface creates directories per mapped image and under each it creates a subdir per available snapshot. This allows keeping a cleaner interface within the sysfs guidelines. The ABI documentation was updated too.
