Hi Stefan, thanks for that hint. We use xfs on a dedicated RAID array for the MON stores. I'm not sure if I have seen elections caused by trimming, I will keep an eye on it.

How do I get them to focus more on their daily duties again? Just checking here, do you use xfs as monitor database filesystem? We encountered monitor elections when monthly trim (discard unused blocks) would run. Disabling the trims solved the issue for us. If you have "discard" option enabled this might hurt you more often ... Gr.
