what is the practical limit on snapshot generations?
...t.
Note these are Qcow2 (1.1) images and they are external snaps. Most of
the write activity is logging and medium database writes for an
ecommerce store. It is certainly NOT heavy write i/o.
Isn't there a cost (speed, resources) etc to all those generations. Any
safety issues? Is there an optimium # of generations where if you exceed
that you get diminishing returns.
At one point are you shooting yourself in the foot, or is this really no
big deal aside from two hours of downtime while the 'actual' commit occurs.
