It of course tries to restart on another MDS node fails again and after several attempts usually comes back up. Today I increased to two active MDS’s but the question is what is the optimal number for a pretty active system? The single MDS seemed to regularly run around 1400 req/s and I often get up to six clients failing to respond to cache pressure. > > Ideally, the only reason you should add more active MDS (increase > max_mds) is because you want to increase request throughput. > > 60GB RSS is not completely unexpected.
