Hello all, I'm trying to add a new data pool to CephFS, as we need some longer term archival storage. ceph mds add_data_pool archive Error EINVAL: can't use pool 'archive' as it's an erasure-code pool Here are the steps taken to create the pools for this new datapool: ceph osd pool create arccache 512 512 replicated replicated_ruleset ceph osd pool set arccache min_size 2 ceph osd pool set arccache size 3 ceph osd erasure-code-profile set ec62profile k=6 m=2 ruleset-failure-domain=disktype ruleset-root=std ceph osd pool create archive 2048 2048 erasure ec62profile ecpool ceph osd tier add-cache archive arccache $((1024*1024*1024*1024*5)) ceph osd tier cache-mode arccache writeback ceph osd tier set-overlay archive arccache ceph osd pool set arccache cache_target_dirty_ratio 0.3 ceph osd pool set arccache target_max_objects 2000000 I'm running Ceph 0.94.2 on CentOS 7.1 The other thing that is probably *not* what we want is that I can add the cache tier (arccache) as a datapool to CephFS. Doing so adds pool id 35 (the cache tier) to the mdsmap, which is not what happens when you create a new cephfs with a tiered EC pool as the datapool. dumped mdsmap epoch 63386 epoch 63386 flags 0 created 2015-06-19 09:52:52.598619 modified 2015-07-21 16:21:12.672241 tableserver 0 root 0 session_timeout 60 session_autoclose 300 max_file_size 17592186044416 last_failure 63309 last_failure_osd_epoch 86152 compat compat={},rocompat={},incompat={1=base v0.20,2=client writeable ranges,3=default file layouts on dirs,4=dir inode in separate object,5=mds uses versioned encoding,6=dirfrag is stored in omap,8=no anchor table} max_mds 1 in 0 up {0=142503496} failed stopped data_pools 34,35 metadata_pool 32 inline_data disabled 141642223: 10.5.38.2:6800/78600 'hobbit02' mds.-1.0 up:standby seq 1 141732776: 10.5.38.14:6846/5875 'hobbit14' mds.-1.0 up:standby seq 1 156005649: 10.5.38.13:6892/20895 'hobbit13' mds.-1.0 up:standby seq 1 142503496: 10.5.38.1:6926/213073 'hobbit01' mds.0.2916 up:active seq 41344 Any thoughts? Is it a bug? Any work arounds? -- Adam _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
