Everyone is so busy benchmarking RADOS small I/O, but what if it's currently bottlenecked by all the file-level access operations that interact with the MDS? Rsync causes a ton of those. If you want to benchmark just the small IO, you can't compare rsync to rsync. If you want to benchmark just the metadata part, rsync with 0-size files might actually be an interesting workload. -- 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
