Hello list,
i've made some further testing and have the problem that ceph doesn't
scale for me. I added a 4th osd server to my existing 3 node osd
cluster. I also reformated all to be able to start with a clean system.
While doing random 4k writes from two VMs i see about 8% idle on the osd
servers (Single Intel Xeon E5 8 cores 3,6Ghz). I believe that this is
the limiting factor and also the reason why i don't see any improvement
by adding osd servers.
3 nodes: 2VMS: 7000 IOp/s 4k writes osds: 7-15% idle
4 nodes: 2VMS: 7500 IOp/s 4k writes osds: 7-15% idle
Even the cpu is not the limiting factor i think it would be really
important to lower the CPU usage while doing 4k writes. The CPU is only
used by the ceph-osd process. I see nearly no usage by other processes
(only 5% by kworker and 5% flush).
Could somebody recommand me a way to debug this? So we know where all
this CPU usage goes?
Stefan
