Just a note: this is fixed in mimic. Previously, we would choose the highest-priority PG to start recovery on at the time, but once recovery had started, the appearance of a new PG with a higher priority (e.g., because it finished peering after the others) wouldn't preempt/cancel the other PG's recovery, so you would get behavior like the above. Mimic implements that preemption, so you should not see behavior like this. (If you do, then the function that assigns a priority score to a PG needs to be tweaked.) sage _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
