Hi, my 2cent, maybe with lower range (like 100MB) of random io, you have more chance to aggregate them in 4MB block ?

Yes/No, it is the max amount of data written but for random I/O it is also the range like random block device position between 0 and X where to write the 4K block. > Also, are these starting out on a fresh > filesystem? Yes, 5 Min old in this case ;-) Stefan -- 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 -- -- Alexandre D e rumier Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux Fixe : 03 20 68 88 85 Fax : 03 20 68 90 88 45 Bvd du Général Leclerc 59100 Roubaix 12 rue Marivaux 75002 Paris -- 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
