They will suicide at startup. Can you not restart the remaining monitors individually at the end of the process once the monmaps and the ceph.confs have been updated so they only think there are 3 monitors? Once you have got to a stable 3 mon config, you can go back up to 5. -- Alex Bligh _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
