Thanks Gregory. This is basically just trying to understand the behavior of the system in a failure scenario . Ideally we would track and fix mons going down promptly .
In an ideal world where nothing else fails and there cephx is not in use but mons are down , what happens if the osd pings to mons time-out ? Would that start resulting in I/O failures ?

Eventually *something* will hit a timeout, whether that's an OSD on its pings, or some kind of key rotation for cephx, or....
