Erasure Coded (EC) Pools

Erasure Coded Pools
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erasure coded (EC) pools can offer more usable space for the price of
performance. In replicated pools, multiple replicas of the data are stored
(`size`). In erasure coded pool, data is split into `k` data chunks with
additional `m` coding chunks. The coding chunks can be used to recreate data
should data chunks be missing. The number of coding chunks, `m`, defines how
many OSDs can be lost without losing any data. The total amount of objects
stored is `k + m`.
Erasure coding (EC) is a form of `forward error correction' codes that allows
to recover from a certain amount of data loss. Erasure coded pools can offer
more usable space compared to replicated pools, but they do that for the price
of performance.
For comparision: in classic, replicated pools, multiple replicas of the data
are stored (`size`) while in erasure coded pool, data is split into `k` data
chunks with additional `m` coding (checking) chunks. Those coding chunks can be
used to recreate data should data chunks be missing.
The number of coding chunks, `m`, defines how many OSDs can be lost without
losing any data. The total amount of objects stored is `k + m`.
Creating EC Pools
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can create erasuce coded (EC) through using the `pveceph` CLI tooling. As
EC code work different than replicated pools, planning a setup and the pool
parameters used needs to adapt.
The default `min_size` of an EC pool depends on the `m` parameter. If `m = 1`,
the `min_size` of the EC pool will be `k`. The `min_size` will be `k + 1` if

Adding EC Pools as Storage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can also add an already existing EC pool as storage to {pve}, it works the
same as adding any `RBD` pool but requires to pass the extra `data-pool`
option.
[source,bash]
----
pvesm add rbd <storage-name> --pool <replicated-pool> --data-pool <ec-pool>
----
TIP: Do not forget to add the `keyring` and `monhost` option for any external
ceph clusters, not managed by the local {pve} cluster.
