1. change data pool for a folder on the file system: setfattr -n ceph.dir.layout.pool -v fs_data.ec21 foldername 2. cp /oldlocation /foldername Remember that you preferably want to use mv, but this leaves (meta) data on the old pool, that is not what you want when you want to delete that pool. 3. When everything is copied-removed, you should end up with an empty datapool with zero objects. 4. Verify here with others, if you can just remove this one. I think this is a reliable technique to switch, because you use the basic cephfs functionality that supposed to work. I prefer that the ceph guys implement a mv that does what you expect from it. Now it acts more or less like a linking. -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Garcia [mailto:jgarcia@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: vrijdag 28 juni 2019 17:52 To: Marc Roos; ceph-users Subject: Re: Migrating a cephfs data pool Are you talking about adding the new data pool to the current filesystem? Like: $ ceph fs add_data_pool my_ceph_fs new_ec_pool I have done that, and now the filesystem shows up as having two data pools: $ ceph fs ls name: my_ceph_fs, metadata pool: cephfs_meta, data pools: [cephfs_data new_ec_pool ] but then I run into two issues: 1. How do I actually copy/move/migrate the data from the old pool to the new pool? 2. When I'm done moving the data, how do I get rid of the old data pool? I know there's a rm_data_pool option, but I have read on the mailing list that you can't remove the original data pool from a cephfs filesystem. The other option is to create a whole new cephfs with a new metadata pool and the new data pool, but creating multiple filesystems is still experimental and not allowed by default...
