Dear Patrick,
Thanks a lot for pointing out the HSM ticket. We will see whether we have the
resource to do something with the ticket.
I am thinking of a temporary solution for HSM using cephfs client commands. The
following command
'setfattr -n ceph.dir.layout.pool -v NewPool Folder'
will set the specified folder Folder to be written to NewPool.
If i understand correctly, the new file written to Folder will be directed to
NewPool, but how about the old files that already exist in FOLDER before
executing the above command? Should i mannually migrate those old files, and
how?
best regards,
samuel
