hi,all Recently,we have a test to compare async i/o and sync i/o in OSD. The osd jounral was written in sync + direct io mode now, that heavily infuluenced the write performance. we use linux aio API. test file size is 40MB,and disk isn't busy. here is the test result: type ext3 sync write+direct io 4.441s async write +direct io 0.462s we are glad to see that, so we want to affirm that : 1) can we use async+direct io to achieve better write performance if we used osd journal? 2) does this bring some problems? thank you in advance! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
