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... -- Alan Robertson<al...@unix.sh> "Openness is the foundation and preservative of friendship...
