That's why I thinked to add corosync/pacemaker to restart a mongod daemon on another host, migrate a vip, keeping the same /dev/rbd3 (as it can be shared on all nodes) for example. A little bit complex, but this mongodb replication is really buggy on high load.

Hi Alexandre, What is the behavior of mongo when a shard is unavailable for some reason (crash or network partition) ? If shard3 is on the wrong side of a network partition and uses RBD, it will hang. Is it something that mongo will gracefully handle ? I have no experience in this but I'm curious about this use case :-) Cheers On 12/02/2015 05:55, Alexandre DERUMIER wrote: > Hi, > > I'm currently running a big mongodb cluster, around 2TB, (sharding + replication). > > And I have a lot of problems with mongo replication (out of syncs and need to full replicate again and again datas between my mongo replicats). > > > So, I thinked to use rbd to replicate the storage and keep only sharding on mongo.
