Hi, I'm doing test with rados bench, and I see constant writes to osd disks. Is it the normal behaviour ? with write-ahead should write occur each 20-30 seconde ? Cluster is 3 nodes (ubuntu precise - glibc 2.14 - ceph 0.47.2) with each node 1 journal on tmpfs 8GB - 1 osd (xfs) on sas disk - 1 gigabit link 8GB journal can handle easily 20s of write (1 gigabit link) [osd] osd data = /srv/osd.$id osd journal = /tmpfs/osd.$id.journal osd journal size = 8000 journal dio = false filestore journal parallel = false filestore journal writeahead = true filestore fiemap = false I have done tests with differents kernel (3.0,3.2,3.4) , differents filesystem (xfs,btrfs,ext4), forced journal mode to writeahead. Bench were done write rados bench and fio. I always have constant write since the first second of bench start. Any idea ?
