So I stopped osd.0 on one host, and copied (using scp) /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0 from one host to another. My understanding is that starting osd.0 on the destination host with 'service ceph start osd.0' should rewrite the crush map and everything should be fine. Apologies, this was my idiocy. scp does not copy xattrs. rsync -aHAX does, and indeed works fine. I suppose it would have been nice if it died a little more gracefully, but I think I got what I deserved. -- Alex Bligh _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
