Hi, AFAIR the device types adds a bunch of shadow devices e.g. osd.1~hdd or something like that... And those shadow devs have a different crush id than the original, untyped device. So, alas, I don't think your test is complete, and yes I expect that your data would move if you change the rule properly.

Hi,
We have a 1.2PB Nautilus installation primarily using CephFS for our HPC-resources. Our OSD’s have spinning disks and NvME devices for WAL and DB in an LVM-setup.
The CephFS metadata pool resides on spinning disks, and I wonder if there is any point from a performance perspective to put that on flash? Trying to google that does not provide for a single straight answer, some say its is heavily cached on the MDS and does not benefit that much from flash while others argue it is significantly faster putting it on flash.
We would regardless like to introduce flash OSD’s. In order to do that and not have data moving on to the ssd’s OSD’s we add we need add crush map rules that place data on ssd and hdd exclusively .
But from reading previous posts to the list adding rules like that would trigger PG’s to start migrating.
But when I (reluctantly) manually edit the crush map, adding a new class ssd (using a previously unused id) and adding the new rules I need crushtool seems to think no data vill shuffle and that maps are equivalent. Is it that simple, or am i doing it wrong? I would have preferred to have used some sort of tool like the crushtool reclassify (if applicable) to make these changes, but I can’t get the hang of that at all. The plan is to then change the crush rule for the exiting pools to the new ones with device classes.
Thank you for any pointers or advice.
