Hi Ram,


You can access snapshot through libgfapi, it is just that the volname
will become something like /snaps/<snapname>/<volname> . I can give
you
some example programs if you have any trouble in doing so.


Or you can use uss feature to use snapshot through main volume via
libgfapi (it is also uses the above method internally).


Regards

Rafi KC

Yes, activated snapshots can be accessed through libgfapi. User serviceable
snapshots in Gluster makes use of gfapi to access activated snapshots.
xlators/features/snapview-server contains code that accesses snapshots
through libgfapi.
