I'm not at all sure that rados cppool actually captures everything (it might). Doug has been working on some similar stuff for disaster recovery testing and can probably walk you through moving over. But just how large *is* your metadata pool in relation to others? Having a too-large pool doesn't cost much unless it's grossly-inflated, and having a nice distribution of your folders is definitely better than not. -Greg On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 4:14 PM, Di Zhang <zhangdibio@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > Is there any way to change the metadata pool for a cephfs without losing > any existing data?
