hi there,
recently, we've come across a lot of advice to only use replicated rados
pools as default- (ie: root-) data pools for cephfs¹.
unfortunately, we either skipped or blatantly ignored this advice while
creating our cephfs, so our default data pool is an erasure coded one
with k=2 and m=4, which _should_ be fine availability-wise. could anyone
elaborate on the impacts regarding the performance of the whole setup?
if a migration to a replicated pool is recommend: would a simple
ceph osd pool set $default_data crush_rule $something_replicated
suffice, or would you recommend a more elaborated approach, something
along the lines of taking the cephfs down, copy contents of default_pool
to default_new, rename default_new default_pool, taking the cephfs up again?
thank you very much & with kind regards,
t.
