Hi, In reply to your question for this UUID thing, we do need it for CLONING subvolume and yes, it is a requirement. And the subvolume mount path is the entire directory path. On Thu, Feb 1, 2024 at 4:51 AM Matthew Melendy <mmelendy@cs.unm.edu> wrote:

So far so good, except I can't quite figure out one aspect of subvolumes.
When I do the commands:
[root@ceph1 ~]# ceph fs subvolumegroup create cephfs csvg [root@ceph1 ~]# ceph fs subvolume create cephfs staff csvg --size 2000000000000
I get these results:
- A subvolume group csvg is created on volume cephfs - A subvolume called staff is created in csvg subvolume (like /volumes/csvg/staff ) however there is no size limit set at this folder in the Ceph dashboard view - A folder with an random UUID name is created inside the subvolume staff ( like /volumes/csvg/staff/6a1b3de5-f6ab-4878-aea3-3c3c6f96ffcf ); this folder does have a size set on it of 2TB
My questions are: - what's the purpose of this UUID, and is it a requirement? - which directory should be mounted for my clients, staff/ or staff/{UUID}, for the size limit to take effect? - is there any way to hide or disable this UUID for client mounts? (eg in /etc/fstab)
[root@ceph1 ~]# ceph fs subvolume getpath cephfs staff csvg /volumes/csvg/staff/6a1b3de5-f6ab-4878-aea3-3c3c6f96ffcf
[root@ceph1 ~]# ceph fs subvolume ls cephfs csvg [ { "name": "staff" } ]
