    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks Alastair for the feedback. As of
      today we have auto-delete which when enabled deletes the oldest
      snapshot on exceeding the snap-max-soft-limit. Is this what you
      were trying to achieve, or were you thinking of more of a policy
      based approach, where like creation, deletion policies can be set,
      to target specific snapshots?<br>

            <br>
            Snaphsots in gluster have a scheduler, which relies heavily
            on crontab, and the shared storage. I would like people
            using this scheduler, or for people to use this scheduler,
            and provide us feedback on it's experience. We are looking
            for feedback on ease of use, complexity of features,
            additional feature support etc.<br>
            <br>
            It will help us in deciding if we need to revamp the
            existing scheduler, or maybe rethink relying on crontab and
            re-writing our own, thus providing us more flexibility.
            Thanks.<br>
            <br>
            Regards,<br>
