Hi John and thank you for your answer. I "solved" the problem doing : ceph mds stop 1 So one MDS is marked as "stopping". A few hours later, it is still "stopping" (active process, consuming CPU sometimes). So the other seems to respond fine to clients... Multi-MDS is really really really unstable :-D On 09/03/2014 04:00 PM, John Spray wrote: > Hi Florent, > > The first thing to do is to turn up the logging on the MDS (if you > haven't already) -- set "debug mds = 20" > http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/troubleshooting/log-and-debug/#subsystem-log-and-debug-settings > > Since you say they appear as 'active' in "ceph status", I assume they > are running rather than crashing again, but it would be good to log > into the MDS servers and check that there really are running ceph-mds > processes.
