Re: [MooseFS-Users] New install, using established mount

[Wilson, S. M <st...@pu...>]

I could be mistaken but it sounds like Tim wants to put up one MooseFS chunkserver and mount a MooseFS filesystem from that chunkserver with a goal of 1.  The 40TB of data is then copied to this MooseFS filesystem.  And then later a new MooseFS chunkserver is added and the filesystem goal will be set to 2.  If that is what is being asked, then it is possible to do it this way.  You can change the goal of an existing MooseFS filesystem from 1 to 2 and it will start making new copies of each file in the background onto the new chunkserver.

Is that what you are asking, Tim?

Hi,
I believe that I misunderstand your question.

You have to copy files to MooseFS. There is no other way to put files inside MooseFS.

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
