volumes migrate

Migrate the filesystem on a persistent volume to another storage class

Synopsis

Migrate the filesystem on a persistent volume to another storage class. This will create a new PVC using the target storage class, and copy all file contents over to the new volume. The existing persistent volume will remain available in the cluster.

Migrate supports both rclone and rsync migration modes. The default mode is rsync.

  • When using rsync, by default it uses the --archive flag. It will preserve all file permissions, timestamps, and ownerships.
  • When using rclone a copy command is used. Use --metadata flag to preserve metadata.

It is recommended to utilize the migration-flag option to pass additional flags to the migration tool, such as --checksum or others and optmize the migration job for your specific use case.
