No, you shouldn't be doing that :)

I'll respond earlier in the thread on the other points... but on this specific one, MogileFS makes heavy use (for the moment!) of GET_LOCK and RELEASE_LOCK so the different processes and trackers don't step on each other's feet and horrifically corrupt things.

So, you may actually do master:master setups with auto_increment_offset fine (this works okay, I have a few cluster's DBs doing it). But the trackers may _only_ point to one of them. If you have a high DB load you should post your tracker configuration here... Presently having too many idle replicators/deleters/etc will increase DB load more than they should.

Otherwise you may use read only slaves by adding them with the mogadm slave command, and that should offload the bulk of the DB traffic if you don't have more replicators/deleters/etc than you need.

Additionally, is there any way to make the trackers config connect to both db masters? I saw some discussion earlier on the list about how to have the trackers query mysql slaves, but I didn't see how the config file needs to be structured to determine if I could use it for multimaster as well.

Thanks!

Greetings everyone,

I'm wondering how to perform the setup of a second tracker. Do I start the second tracker the same as the first tracker, or do I need to do some configuration on both trackers so that they know about eachother?

Also, I want to set this up in a mysql multimaster situation, probably having each tracker talk to the mysql instance on the machine it's on. From what I know about mogile, that shouldn't be a problem. Is there anything I should know about setting mogile up in this way?

Thanks for the help!

Clint
