Well, my aim is to make replicas request chunks of data from each other during the recovery process, but not from primary. So, let's consider the three-osd cluster with a PG residing on it: node1(primary), node2(replica), node3(replica), 3in/3up active+clean
Now, let's shutdown node3. node1(primary), node2(replica), node3(replica), 3in/2up active+undersized+degraded After node3 comes back online, the recovery is started and node1 sends chunks of data node3. Is there a way to make node2 send these chunks instead of node1 without making node2 a primary? 2016-03-10 0:42 GMT+03:00 Gregory Farnum <[email protected]>: > On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 2:21 AM, Александр Шишенко <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I have a development cluster of three OSD's.
