You can try dropping the cache on the clients (/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches). Don't do all of them at once. This might hang your MDS and cause it to be replaced by the monitors. This is one of the reasons the changes were made. I'm not really sure how quickly the MDS will chew through 5M cap releases. -- Patrick Donnelly, Ph.D. He / Him / His Senior Software Engineer Red Hat Sunnyvale, CA GPG: 19F28A586F808C2402351B93C3301A3E258DD79D _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
