Hi,
you'll need to have either both mount points mounted on your host or
simply mount the root directory. I don't think there's a different
method available to convert directories to subvolumes.

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 /volu
Hi,
check out this thread [1] as well, where Anh Phan pointed out:
Not really sure what you want, but for simplicity, just move folder
to following structure:
/volumes/[Sub Volume Group Name]/[Sub Volume Name]
ceph will recognize it (no extend attr needed), if you use
subvolumegroup name d
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', '/mn
fyi - the xattr is indeed required even if the dir is under a subvolumegroup dir
there's some management involved in the way the subvolume dir is created

Thanks, I understand that. I was just explicitly asking for the
conversion of an existing directory (created without subvolume) with
xattr as mentioned in the thread [2]. Anyway, apparently it works like
Anh Phan stated in his response, moving an existing directory to the
subvolumegroup sub
well, you should've used the ceph command to create the subvol
it's much simpler that way
$ ceph fs subvolume create mycephfs subvol2
The above command creates a new subvol (subvol2) in the default subvolume group.
So, in your case the actual path to the subvolume would be
/mnt/volumes/_nogroup/
