This should make it clearer: http://ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/file-layouts/#inheritance-of-layouts When you change the layout of a directory, the new layout will only apply to newly created files: it will not trigger any data movement. If you explicitly change the layout of a file containing data to point to a different pool, then you will see zeros when you try to read it back (although new data will be written to the new pool). You could probably script movement of file data objects to the new layout's pool if you were sufficiently motivated, but in general it's expected that file data stays where it was created.
