For a real deployment, you shouldn't be running multiple monitors on a single node in the general case. I'm not sure if we want to prohibit it by policy, but I'd be okay with the idea. For testing purposes (in ceph-qa-suite or using vstart as a developer) it's pretty common though, and we probably don't want to have to rewrite all our tests to change that. I'm not sure that vstart ever uses the regular init system, but teuthology/ceph-qa-suite obviously do! For MDSes, it's probably appropriate/correct to support multiple daemons on the same host. This can be either a fault tolerance thing, or just a way of better using multiple cores if you're living on the (very dangerous) edge. -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
