If yes, which is the quorum? Yes, you should get a quorum as mon.5 will vote for one datacenter or the other. Which one it chooses will depend on which monitor has the "lowest" IP address (I think, or maybe just the monitor IDs or something? Anyway, it's a consistent ordering). Under no circumstances whatsoever will mon.5 help each datacenter create their own quorums at the same time. The other data center will just be out of luck and unable to do anything. Although it's possible that the formed quorum won't be very stable since the out-of-quorum monitors will probably keep trying to form a quorum and that might make mon.5 unhappy. You should test what happens with that kind of net split. :) -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
