I was reading about mon osd min down reports at http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/mon-osd-interaction/, and I had a question.

Are mon osd min down reporters and mon osd min down reports both required to mark an OSD down, or just one?

For example, if I set
[global]
mon osd min down reporters = 9
  mon osd min down reports = 3

Does that mean that 9 OSDs have to report an OSD down AND one of them has to report it 3 times? Or does it mean a single OSD reporting another OSD is down 3 times will still mark it down?

In the first case, reports = 3 seems like a good number. In the 2nd case, it seems that reports should be (reporters * 3).


I'm thinking that in real clusters, reporters should be

 * larger than the largest number of OSDs in a single node
 * less than (Num OSDs / 2)
 * less than the smallest number of PGs per OSD

Those rules might conflict for 1-3 node clusters, but shouldn't cause problems for larger clusters.


Thoughts?
