This is due to SO_REUSEADDR (not SO_REUSEPORT) socket option set. You should have mentioned that you were talking about FreeBSD. Note, although osd-0 and osd-1 processes are bound to the same port, they have different addresses: wildcard (*) for osd-1, and 127.0.0.1 for rebound osd-0. On FreeBSD if SO_REUSEADDR is set, it fails to bind only when both address and port are the same, and wildcard is considered as a different address here. On Linux bind fails in such case. See, for example this for more details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14388706/socket-options-so-reuseaddr-and-so-reuseport-how-do-they-differ-do-they-mean-t The question is though why it rebinds to 127.0.0.1, and not to '*'? I suppose this is wrong. How does it behave on Linux?
