I think the multiple namespace feature would be more appropriate for your use case. So that would be multiple file systems within the same pools rather than multiple pools in a single filesystem.
With that said, that might be overkill for your requirement. You might be able to achieve what you need with path restriction: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/client-auth/

thanks for your reply.
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?
THX
