[01:48:35] <dergrunepunkt> hi guys, i have a mongo clister that's locked on index rebuild, it seems to be reindexing in a loop, reaches 100% and starts over again, I'm noob on this is it normal?
[02:01:34] <Boomtime> @dergrunepunkt: that is not right - can you pastebin the log lines you are referring to? the more the better
[02:02:02] <Boomtime> also, did you start the index build, or is this a member of a replica-set that is re-sync'ing?
[02:18:52] <dergrunepunkt> @Boomtime: I solved the issue forcing a change in the PRIMARY election, the node that was replicating finished OK
[02:20:58] <Boomtime> so.. was this a member re-sync'ing then? i.e in fact building different indexes one after the other, "resetting to 100%" each time, and thus would have finished by itself anyway
[02:22:10] <dergrunepunkt> can't tell, but seems it self healed
[02:22:20] <Boomtime> if it was re-sync'ing in any form, then it could not have been primary, building indexes is unrelated to the sync process, so a stepdown of another host would not have affected it at all - the situaiton you describe as the fix was a placebo, the host finished by itself
