Hi, I have 20 machines with 1 brick each and replication set to 2. On any node [with no fuse mount on the node] - the number of connections is 125. The output is for a single node i.e. 192.168.100.11 - Replication pairs configured are [192.168.100.10] and [192.168.100.11] however connections are seen between this node and all others [eg. list of connections between 192.168.100.11 and 192.168.100.21]. I'm not sure if these connections are really useful. tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:24007 192.168.100.21:998 ESTABLISHED 0 84286 2117/glusterd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:49152 192.168.100.21:893 ESTABLISHED 0 86410 2247/glusterfsd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:932 192.168.100.21:49152 ESTABLISHED 0 86601 4182/glusterfs tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:1012 192.168.100.21:24007 ESTABLISHED 0 84284 2117/glusterd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:49152 192.168.100.21:894 ESTABLISHED 0 86408 2247/glusterfsd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:904 192.168.100.21:49152 ESTABLISHED 0 86629 4175/glusterfs between 192.168.100.11 and 192.168.100.10 tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:1001 192.168.100.10:49152 ESTABLISHED 0 86567 4182/glusterfs tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:24007 192.168.100.10:1022 ESTABLISHED 0 15053 2117/glusterd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:939 192.168.100.10:49152 ESTABLISHED 0 86586 4175/glusterfs tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:49152 192.168.100.10:887 ESTABLISHED 0 86353 2247/glusterfsd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:1023 192.168.100.10:24007 ESTABLISHED 0 15064 2117/glusterd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:49152 192.168.100.10:886 ESTABLISHED 0 86358 2247/glusterfsd tcp 0 0 192.168.100.11:49152 192.168.100.10:958 ESTABLISHED 0 91337 2247/glusterfsd Why so many connections?
