I'm not sure why I should add pools to a current file system configuration. Therefore it could be helpful to explain my use case. The Ceph Storage Cluster should provide storage for database backups. For security reasons I consider to create one pool per database identified by an unique id (e.g. ABC). And for each pool only a dedicated user (+ ceph admin) can access (read / write) the data in the related pool; this user is unique for each database (e.g. abcadm). The first question is: Do I need to create two RADOS pools as documented in guide 'Create a Ceph filesystem' (http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/createfs/) for each database id: "A Ceph filesystem requires at least two RADOS pools, one for data and one for metadata." If yes, this would mean to create the following pools: $ ceph osd pool create abc_data <pg_num> $ ceph osd pool create abc_metadata <pg_num> $ ceph osd pool create xyz_data <pg_num> $ ceph osd pool create xyz_metadata <pg_num> Or should I create only one "File System Pool" (= cephfs_data and cephfs_metadata) and add all database pools to this file system? In that case, how can I ensure that admin "abcadm" cannot modify files belonging to database XYZ?
