I might be wrong but the object size is 4M in ceph so this might be the case 
also. But yeah, on the lower level of data storing I'm not familiar.

Subject: [Suspicious newsletter] [ceph-users] RBD clone on Bluestore

Email received from outside the company. If in doubt don't click links nor open 
attachments!
________________________________

hello!

I'm trying to understand how Bluestore cooperates with RBD image clones, so my 
test is simple

1. create an image (2G) and fill with data 2. create a snapshot 3. protect it 
4. create a clone of the image 5. write a small portion of data (4K) to clone 
6. check how it changed and if just 4K are used to prove CoW allocated new 
extent instead of copying out snapped data.

Unfortunately it occurs that at least rbd du reports that 4M was changed and 
the clone consumes 4M of data instead of expected 4K...
'''
rbd du rbd/clone1
NAME PROVISIONED USED
clone1 2 GiB 4 MiB
'''

How can I trace/prove Bluestore CoW really works in this case, and prevent 
copying the rest of the 4M stripe like Filestore did ?

p.s tested on Luminous/Octopus, ssd devices, min_alloc_size: 16k,
block_size: 4k

best regards!
