I believe this may impact performances negatively, as the performances on this ceph cluster are abysmal. Since it is not possible to reduce the number of PGs in a pool, I was thinking of creating new pools with a smaller number of PGs, moving the data from the old pools to the new pools and then deleting the old pools. > > I haven't seen any command to copy objects from one pool to another. Would that be possible? I'm using ceph for block storage with openstack, so surely there must be a way to move block devices from a pool to another, right? What I did a one point was going one layer higher in my storage abstraction, and created new Ceph pools and used those for new storage resources/pool in my VM env. (ProxMox) on top of Ceph RBD and then did a live migration of virtual disks there, assume you could do the same in OpenStack.
