On the other hand, the openstack docs [3] report this:
The mirroring of RBD images stored in Erasure Coded pools is not
currently supported by the ceph-rbd-mirror charm due to limitations
in the functionality of the Ceph rbd-mirror application.
But I can't tell if it's a limitation within the charm or in general.

Hi,
I think you still need a replicated pool for the rbd metadata, check
out this thread [1]. Althouh I don't know if a mixed setup will
work. IIUC, in the referred thread the pools are set up identically
on both clusters, not sure if it will work if you only have one
replicated pool in site A while site B has two pools (replicated for
metadata and EC for data). But according to [2] the rbd-mirror it
might be possible:
When creating images in the destination cluster, rbd-mirror selects
a data pool as follows:
1. If the destination cluster has a default data pool configured
(with the rbd_default_data_pool configuration option), it will be
used.
2. Otherwise, if the source image uses a separate data pool, and
a pool with the same name exists on the destination cluster, that
pool will be used.
3. If neither of the above is true, no data pool will be set.
But it's worth a shot, I guess.
Regards,
Eugen

Hello, Ceph users,
I would like to use my secondary Ceph cluster for backing up RBD OpenNebula
volumes from my primary cluster using mirroring in image+snapshot mode.
Because it is for backups only, not a cold-standby, I would like to use
erasure coding on the secondary side to save a disk space.
Is it supported at all?
I tried to create a pool:
secondary# ceph osd pool create one-mirror erasure k6m2
secondary# ceph osd pool set one-mirror allow_ec_overwrites true
set pool 13 allow_ec_overwrites to true
secondary# rbd mirror pool enable --site-name secondary one-mirror image
2024-02-02T11:00:34.123+0100 7f95070ad5c0 -1 librbd::api::Mirror:
mode_set: failed to allocate mirroring uuid: (95) Operation not
supported
When I created a replicated pool instead, this step worked:
secondary# ceph osd pool create one-mirror-repl replicated
secondary# rbd mirror pool enable --site-name secondary
one-mirror-repl image
secondary#
So, is RBD mirroring supported with erasure-coded pools at all? Thanks!
