Hi everyone, Thank you all for the quick replies! So making snapshots and rsyncing them between clusters should work, I'll be sure to check that out. Snapshot mirroring is what we'd need, but I couldn't find any release date on nautilus, and we don’t really have time to wait for its release.

Ah, yes, good question. I don't know if there is a true upper limit, but leaving old snapshot around could hurt you when replaying journals and such. Is is still so in mimic? Should I live in fear if I keep old snapshots all the time (because I'm using them as "checkpoints")? :) -- With b

[ceph-users] Replicating CephFS between clusters

2019-02-19 Thread Balazs Soltesz
Hi all, I'm experimenting with CephFS as storage to a bitbucket cluster. One problems to tackle is replicating the filesystem contents between ceph clusters in different sites around the globe. I've read about pool replication, but I've also read replicating pools under a CephFS is not advised.
