Hello, Scenario 1. Create 2 pools 1 data/1meta for cephfs using EC cech fs new mycephfs data1 meta1 Error: "EC pool for default data pool discouraged" Reading creating-pools I think understand you want for recovery information for system in replicated pools. I am just not certain I understand if ceph needs one default replicated pool for the whole cluster? Scenario 2. Can I do this: # create default pool 1. create 2 new pool data and meta pool, replicated. 2. create new fs for step 1. # create EC pool for cephfs export 3. create 2 new pools data1 and meta1, erasure-coded 2. create new fs for step 3. Hope this is clear? If this does work, does this mean a cluster has a default pool or a default replicated pool for every new erasure-coded pool? thanks jerry _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
