Thanks! To address a few things specifically Ceph is both the name of the project and of the POSIX-compliant filesystem. RADOS stands for Reliable Autonomous Distributed Object Store. Apparently we should publish this a bit more. :) Looks like most of the differences in your tests have to do with our relatively lousy read performance -- this is probably due to lousy readahead, which nobody's spent a lot of time optimizing as we focus on stability. Sage made some improvements a few weeks ago but I don't remember what version of stuff they ended up in. :) (Optimizing cross-server reads is hard!) -- 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
