Hello, when I put my cluster under a little stress (doing performance measurements with fio from one client), I see messages like this when watching the cluster with ceph -w: 2011-08-08

leader elections are so frequent and quorum changes all the time? This doesn't happen when the cluster is idle (ie. I'm not stressing it with fio). My setup consists of three machines: 1. iscsigw1: OSD+MDS+MON 2. iscsigw2: OSD+MDS(standby-replay)+MON 3. cc: MON+client+control utility Thanks, -- cc -- 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
