[Moosefs-users] Why is it increasing my DEL_LIMIT when I don't want it to!

[<wk...@bn...>]

Ok, we deleted a couple hundred thousand files from a large Maildir 
folder set.

We have had problems with deletions overwhelming the cluster in the 
past, so we have a DEL_LIMIT set to 20 (which we will probably lower)

But when the expiretime hit, the server became lethargic. in checking 
the logs I see this

Sep 21 21:10:31 mfs1master mfsmaster[2373]: DEL_LIMIT temporary 
increased to: 26/s
Sep 21 21:15:30 mfs1master mfsmaster[2373]: DEL_LIMIT temporary 
increased to: 33/s
Sep 21 21:55:24 mfs1master mfsmaster[2373]: DEL_LIMIT decreased back to: 
26/s

OK, WHY IS DOING THIS! I told it no more than 20

I do NOT want this, it kills my server and we've learned the hard way it 
can really screw up VM images (they go read-only) if the deletions 
overwhelm the cluster.
