Hi Eugen, During the talk you've mentioned, Dan said there's a hard coded limit of 256 MDSs per cluster. So with one active and one standby-ish MDSs per filesystem, that would be 128 filesystems at max per cluster. Mark said he got 120 but.. things start to get wacky by 80. :-) More fun to come, for sure. Cheers, Frédéric.
