I have just done a test on rbd-mirror. Follow the steps: 1. deploy two new clusters, clusterA and clusterB 2. configure one-way replication from clusterA to clusterB with rbd-mirror 3. write data to rbd_blk on clusterA once every 5 seconds 4. get information with 'rbd mirror image status rbd_blk', the "state" is "up+replaying" 5. demote image on clusterA(just wanna stop syncing and switch client connection to clusterB) The result is: 1. I find that the "last_update" from "rbd mirror image status" updates every 30 seconds, which means I will lose at most 30s of data 2. I stopped syncing on 11:02, while the data from rbd_blk on the clusterB is not newer than 10:50. Did I have the wrong steps in the switching progress?
