CephFS Replication

[gdi2k]

We're experimenting with various Ceph features on the new PVE 6.2 with a view to deployment later in the year.

One of the Ceph features that we're very interested in is pool replication for disaster recovery purposes (rbd mirror). This seems to work fine with "images" (like PVE VM images within a Ceph pool), but we haven't found a way to get it to work with CephFS - is this not supported?

I haven't been able to find any documentation or commentary online with regard replication of CephFS.

AFAIK this is not implemented in Ceph (yet). Only rbd images and the rados gateway. But since CephFS in Proxmox VE is used for storing ISO, backups or templates, they could be replicated by other means (eg. rsync).

Thanks for the quick reply Alwin. Let's hope it's on the cards for the future.
