Should I have started the daemon and then increase the mds? Well if you increase the max_mds that tells the system to make more active MDSes. "Active" means that the MDS is authoritative for part of the namespace hierarchy, will be serving clients, etc. If you just want standbys then you simply need to start up extra cmds processes. > I decrease it to one (1) and rebooted both cmds and they are still in replay. Is there a way to get them into active? Unfortunately we don't have a way right now to reduce the number of active MDSes. Most of the machinery is there but it's not complete or well-tested. You've probably confused the system by telling it to have fewer MDSes than it's already got, so you're going to have to put max_mds back to 2 to get this cluster back up. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
