It wasn't that bad to read it all. I hadn't realized the messages had
gotten so large.
We put in compression exactly to deal with this situation. All that
bulky XML is extremely compressible.
I didn't write that part of the code, and hadn't noticed that it did all
that excessive compression/decompression. But you will note that this
only really happens during a cluster transition. Most of the time
nothing happens - and nothing but heartbeats go over the network - or
has that changed too?
On a completely different subject, I'm modernizing my home production
cluster. Switching to Ubuntu, replacing motherboard with multi-core
CPUs, replacing hard drives, adding striping. I was planning on putting
the DRBD metadata in an SSD - but there seems to some incompatibility
between the SSD I bought and Linux and/or my motherboard. On the other
hand the SSD works nicely with non-Linux disk testing utilities. Sigh...
