The updates will be marginally more expensive, but I don't think it will cause any problems--not until you have 10 or more mons, I'd say. The only thing to watch out for is the ceph-mon interfering with the ceph-osds. If you have an old kernel without syncfs(2) (<2.6.39 or thereabouts), or if you are sharing the mon disk with an osd, there can be a negative interaction. sage > (I have had issues in my cluster when doing upgrades where my monitor count > fell to 3, so it felt like having the extra was nice, at that point.) 5 will give you protection from 2 ceph-mon failues, which is nice. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
