I wouldn't do it quite this way for one simple reason: if you put Ganesha on your standby MDS, and the primary MDS fails, Ganesha will get reduced memory and CPU at precisely the same time as the underlying CephFS is getting slower. If you can afford to run Ganesha on your standby, you can run it on your primary MDS too. :) -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
