OSDs run 3.0.30 but i tried 3.3.7 too - no difference (regarding XFS crash and random writes). Just tried btrfs with 3.4 kernel and the posted patch from yesterday. But with kernel 3.4 the performance is in general pretty low doesn't matter if i use xfs or btrfs: ~# rados -p data bench 10 write -t 16 Maintaining 16 concurrent writes of 4194304 bytes for at least 10 seconds. sec Cur ops started finished avg MB/s cur MB/s last lat avg lat 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 1 16 35 19 75.9824 76 0.294869 0.376607 2 16 51 35 69.9844 64 0.103118 0.345375 3 16 72 56 74.652 84 0.113909 0.5364 4 16 88 72 71.9866 64 0.641818 0.786378 5 16 95 79 63.1887 28 0.131084 0.737699 6 16 113 97 64.6553 72 0.232688 0.851319 7 16 129 113 64.5604 64 0.35199 0.822971 8 16 148 132 65.9888 76 0.09892 0.739852 9 16 149 133 59.1007 4 0.833541 0.740556 10 16 157 141 56.3899 32 0.101306 0.715187 11 16 157 141 51.2634 0 - 0.715187 12 16 157 141 46.9914 0 - 0.715187 13 16 157 141 43.3766 0 - 0.715187 14 16 157 141 40.2782 0 - 0.715187 15 16 157 141 37.593 0 - 0.715187 16 16 157 141 35.2434 0 - 0.715187 Total time run: 16.471636 Total writes made: 158 Write size: 4194304 Bandwidth (MB/sec): 38.369 Average Latency: 1.66534 Max latency: 13.554 Min latency: 0.095194 > As of late XFS has occasionally been producing seemingly random kernel > hangs.
