[MooseFS-Users] New install, using established mount

[Tim G. <Ti...@ns...>]

Hi everyone.

I have a cloud backup service that I offer that runs on a centos 7 VM with a /mnt mount to a separate raid 6 storage server

I have around 40Tb of data but not replication/backup as such apart from the raid 6. I need to rectify this but struggle to get downtime on the centos VM to be able to change anything.

Is it possible to introduce an established Linux mount into a Moosefs file system for that mount to be goal 1 to then duplicate through to newer hardware for the 2nd goal?

Or will I have to copy the data from an established mount to the new Moosefs file system already configured?

I hope that makes sense.

Regards

Tim
