Hi, I try to distribute all top level dirs in CephFS by different MDS ranks. I have two active MDS with rank *0* and *1 *and I have 2 top dirs like */dir1* and* /dir2*. After pinning: setfattr -n ceph.dir.pin -v 0 /fs-mountpoint/dir1 setfattr -n ceph.dir.pin -v 0 /fs-mountpoint/dir2 I can see next INOS and DNS distribution: RANK STATE MDS ACTIVITY DNS INOS DIRS CAPS 0 active c Reqs: 127 /s 12.6k 12.5k 333 505 1 active b Reqs: 11 /s 21 24 19 1 When I write to dir1 I can see a small amount on Reqs: in rank 1.

Is this correct? Is it possible to completely exclude rank 1 from processing dir1 and not stop io when rank 1 goes down? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
