This doesn't happen so much any more, but it did sometimes in the past. 1b) The MDS uses this setting to limit the size of some of its operations (mostly directory updates), which can (rarely) grow quite large. 2) The OSDs don't have any other strict limits on how large an op you send around, but performance becomes a problem if they grow too large. This setting caps the operation size it allows. It defaults to 90MB and you can change it if you want to, but I'm not sure why you would… -Greg -- 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
