Solaris RBD production workflow May 13, 2024, 8:49 p.m.
Yeah I had some back and forth with sidefx on this a while ago; when I first wrote up that method it was fast, then it got slow with later builds. The 'correct' answer is to swap over to the rbd destruction lop.
I've not used it on a project, but diving inside it just now, the hda seems designed to be tweaked and hacked. I'd assume if you have enough time and are confident in your skills, it shouldn't be too much effort to port an existing setup over.
Rob Pieke explains some of the thinking, why other methods are slow, why the new workflow is as it is here:
