Hi Zheng, A stopping mds can take longer than the beacon interval. Before updating a cluster from 12.2.5 to 12.2.7 today I deactivated rank 1, and while that mds was stopping the mon thought it was *not responding* then replaced with a spare. So I had to again deactivate the new rank 1 mds. Is this expected? Shouldn't the mds continue sending the beacons while stopping? 2018-07-30 10:57:44.162695 ...: audit [INF] from='client.? ... entity='client.admin' cmd=[{"prefix": "mds deactivate", "who": "cephdwightmds2"}]: dispatch ... 2018-07-30 10:59:59.489756 ... mon.0 ... : cluster [WRN] daemon mds.cephdwightmds2 is not responding, replacing it as rank 1 with standby daemon mds.cephdwightmds1 Cheers, Dan -- 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
