No, pools use crush rulesets. "straw" and "straw2" are bucket types
(or algorithms).
As an example, if you do "ceph osd crush add-bucket foo rack" on
a cluster with firefly tunables, you will get a new straw bucket. The
same after doing "ceph osd crush tunables hammer" will get you a new
straw2 bucket, with the rest of your buckets remaining unaffected.
straw buckets are not going to be replaced with straw2 buckets, that's
something you as an administrator can make a choice to do.
Thanks,
Ilya
