[ceph-users] Re: CephFS: convert directory into subvolume
Eugon, Thank you, however I'm am still lost. I can create a subvolume group, that I understand. The issue is '/volume/' isn't a real directory on the host, it's a 'virtual directory' in cephfs. '/mnt/tank/database' is a real folder structure on the host. I can't `mv /mnt/tank/database /volume/` Re-reading the thread, is the answer basically: 1) Create group and subvolume 2) mount the subvolume onto the host and then move the data? Or is there a more direct way to convert '/mnt/tank/database' to '/volume//database' Thx!

[ceph-users] Re: CephFS: convert directory into subvolume
Hello, I'm following this tread and the original. I'm trying to convert directories into subvolumes. Where I'm stuck is how you move a directory into the subvolume root directory. I have a volume 'tank' and it's mounted on the host as '/mnt/tank' I have subfolders '/mnt/tank/database', '/mnt/tank/gitlab', etc... I create a subvolume and getpath gives me: /volumes/_nogroup/database/4a74 Questions: 1) How do I move /mnt/tank/database into /volumes/_nogroup/database/4a...74 2) Each of the directories have different pools associated with them, do I need to create the sub volume in the same pool? 3) Or can I just move '/mnt/tank/gitlab' --> /volumes/_nogroup/gitlab without first creating the volume? This would skip question 2.. Thx! Jie ___ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
