Sounds right. You need to get the rbd volumes unmounted before shutting down the ceph services. The rbdmap file may do the trick if you set the sysvinit priority right. This is all going to be very fragile, however: - running kernel client and ceph servers on the same node is vulnerable to writeback deadlock (as it is with cifs, nfs, and other network file systems) - even if you shut down the services on the current node in the right order, that doesn't mean the other nodes in the cluster will too; you really need all clients to shut down, and then all servers. sage _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
