Hi, I have a 5 machine cluster, triple replication, 1 SSD per machine. I have the following process class configuration: machine 1: 2 storage, 2 stateless machine 2: 2 storage, 2 stateless machine 3: 2 storage, 2 stateless machine 4: 2 storage, 1 proxy, 1 stateless machine 5: 1 log, 3 stateless I’d made this configuration after referring to [https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/questions-about-process-classes-recruitment-behavior-and-cluster-configuration/1177](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/questions-about-process-classes-recruitment-behavior-and-cluster-configuration/1177). But I keep noticing my storage classes also being assigned log roles, automatically, leading to a warning that it’s not ideal to have the same process be both a storage and a log process. How do I avoid this from happening? Any ideas where I’m going wrong? ---

How many tlogs are there in the cluster - probably 3+ due to triple replication ? There appears to be only a single fdb process with log class; so if there are more tlogs then they will go to other fdbservers. From what you’ve configured, `storage` seems like the next best alternate class for them.

Will it try to recruit one SS on each process class where it is allowed to do so (that is everything except for those with NeverFit)? Specifically, will … ---

Ah, rookie mistake. This makes sense. Useful post too, will check it out.
