Hi Mark, didn't had the time to answer your mails - but i will get on this one first. > Would you mind installing blktrace and running "blktrace -o test-3.4 -d > /dev/sdb" on the OSD node during a short (say 60s) test on 3.4? sure no problem. here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?6cw87btn7mzco25 Output: === sdb === CPU 0: 18075 events, 848 KiB data CPU 1: 10738 events, 504 KiB data CPU 2: 8639 events, 405 KiB data CPU 3: 8614 events, 404 KiB data CPU 4: 0 events, 0 KiB data CPU 5: 0 events, 0 KiB data CPU 6: 143 events, 7 KiB data CPU 7: 0 events, 0 KiB data Total: 46209 events (dropped 0), 2167 KiB data > If you could archive/send me the results, that might help us get an idea > of what is actually getting sent out to the disk. Your data disk > throughput on 3.0 looks pretty close to what I normally get (including > on 3.4). I'm guessing the issue you are seeing on 3.4 is probably not > the seek problem I mentioned earlier (unless something is causing so > many seeks that it more or less paralyzes the disk). As i have a SSD i can't believe seeks can be a problem.
