[Moosefs-users] Replication mechanism/speed

[Reinis R. <r...@ro...>]

Hello,
I want to clarify few things regarding MooseFS (didnt find clear answers in 
the FAQ section):

On what principle (speed/rate) does the replication of chunks work?

While actively using a MFS attached filesystem (rsyncing to it) switched of 
one of the chunkservers and of course when bringing it up again bunch of 
files were undergoal - atm I'm seeing something like 1 file/chunk replicated 
per second.

While non-agressive replication is fine (doesn't degrade the rest of the 
system) is there a way to adjust / finetune it (or maybe its done 
automatically)?

Is it somewhat connected to also chunkserver count - like more chunkservers 
= higher replication rates (since the replication is distributed then) or 
the goal size (the more file is undergoal (for example 1 copy out of 6) the 
faster it gets replicated) or its just some preset/hardcoded rate?
