I came across that and tried it - the short answer is no, you can't do that - using cache tier. The longer answer as to why I'm less sure about, but iirc it has to do with copying / editing the OMAP object properties.
The good news, however, is that you can 'fake it' using File Layouts - http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/cephfs/file-layouts/ In my case I was moving around / upgrading disks and wanted to change from unreplicated (well, r=1) to erasure coding (in my case, rs4.1). I was able to do this keeping the following in mind: 1. The original pool, cephfs_data, must remain as a replicated pool. I'm unsure why, IIRC some metadata can't be kept in erasure coded pools. 2. The metadata pool, cephfs_metadata, must also remain as a replicated pool. 3. Your new pool (the destination pool) can be created however you like. 4. This procedure involves rolling unavailability on a per-file basis. This is from memory; I should do a better writeup elsewhere, but what I did was this: 1. Create your new pool. `ceph osd pool create cephfs_data_ec_rs4.1 8 8 erasure rs4.1` 2. Set the xattr for the root directory to use the new pool: `setfattr -n ceph.file.layout.pool -v cephfs_data_ec_rs4.1 /cephfs_mountpoint/` At this stage all new files will be written to the new pool. Unfortunately you can't change the layout of a file with data, so copying the files back into their own place is required. You can hack up a bash script to do this, or write a converter program. Here's the most relevant bit, per file, which copies the file first and then renames the new file to the old file: func doConvert(filename string) error { poolRewriteName, previousPoolName, err := newNearbyTempFiles(filename) if err != nil { return err } err = SetCephFSFileLayoutPool(poolRewriteName, []byte(*toPool)) if err != nil { os.Remove(poolRewriteName) os.Remove(previousPoolName) return err } err = CopyFilePermissions(filename, poolRewriteName) if err != nil { os.Remove(poolRewriteName) os.Remove(previousPoolName) return err } //log.Printf("Copying %s to %s\n", filename, poolRewriteName) err = CopyFile(filename, poolRewriteName) if err != nil { os.Remove(poolRewriteName) os.Remove(previousPoolName) return err } //log.Printf("Moving %s to %s\n", filename, previousPoolName) err = MoveFile(filename, previousPoolName) if err != nil { os.Remove(poolRewriteName) os.Remove(previousPoolName) return err } //log.Printf("Moving %s to %s\n", poolRewriteName, filename) err = MoveFile(poolRewriteName, filename) os.Remove(poolRewriteName) os.Remove(previousPoolName) return err } On Wed, May 15, 2019 at 10:31 AM Lars Täuber <taeu...@bbaw.de> wrote: > Hi, > > is there a way to migrate a cephfs to a new data pool like it is for rbd > on nautilus? > https://ceph.com/geen-categorie/ceph-pool-migration/ > > Thanks > Lars > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@lists.ceph.com > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com >
