[MooseFS-Users] Marking disc for removal - chunkserver gets no more chunks

[Wolfgang <moo...@wo...>]

Hi List!

In my cluster I have a chunkserver with 3 discs mounted to seperate 
directories and showing as 3 lines in the "Disks" overview.

When I mark one of these discs for removal (by prepending a * in the 
mfshdd.cfg and reload this disc gets status "marked for removal (not 
ready)" and doesn't get any new chunks which is what I expected.

When I now watch as chunks get copied so this disc can be removed - it 
seems to me that the 2 other discs of this chunkserver (or the whole 
chunkserver) don't get any new chunks either? Why is this? Wouldn't it 
be the fastest to move the chunks from the "marked for removal" disc to 
the other discs at the same chunkserver?

Thanks for clearification.
