Hi Stephan, > - Increase the osdmax value Well actually this doesn't seem to be necessary because when you issue a "ceph osd create" the osdmax value is automatically incremented. It just that a while ago I saw on the ML or IRC that it was a good practice to do this. And this documentation http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/control/ says: "Set the max_osd parameter in the osd map. This is necessary when expanding the storage cluster." Maybe the doc is outdated on this option, I don't know. > - Set “filestore flusher” option to false, in your [osd] section During my benchmarks sessions I noticed that disabling this option brought way better performance, at least for old hardware. Fo recent hardware I haven't seen any difference, but I kept the habit to disable it. There are some discussions about this option on the ML. As far as I can remember, it's harmless to disable it. >From the doc here http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/filestore-config-ref/: "The filestore flusher forces data from large writes to be written out using sync file range before the sync in order to (hopefully) reduce the cost of the eventual sync. In practice, disabling ‘filestore flusher’ seems to improve performance in some cases." Cheers, -- Regards, Sébastien Han.
