Well, it depends on how many clients you have. ;) I think the default settings also have ~12 internal working threads (but I don't recall exactly). The thread count definitely is not related to the number of PGs it hosts (directly, anyway — more PGs can lead to more OSD peers and so more messenger threads). Keep in mind that if you have clients connecting and then disconnecting repeatedly (eg, the rados tool), each instance counts as a client and the connection has to time out (15 minutes) before its threads get cleaned up. -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
