If one shard is down, I think the cluster is locked.

That's why I thinked to add corosync/pacemaker to restart a mongod daemon on 
another host, migrate a vip, keeping the same /dev/rbd3 (as it can be shared on 
all nodes) for example.

A little bit complex, but this mongodb replication is really buggy on high 
load. (Need to implement librados inside mongo ;)

Objet: Re: [ceph-users] mongodb on top of rbd volumes (through krbd) ?

Hi Alexandre, 

What is the behavior of mongo when a shard is unavailable for some reason 
(crash or network partition) ? If shard3 is on the wrong side of a network 
partition and uses RBD, it will hang. Is it something that mongo will 
gracefully handle ? 

I have no experience in this but I'm curious about this use case :-) 

Cheers
