Ceph journal in case of filestore is providing transactional writes, so, you can't remove journal. Thanks & Regards Somnath -----Original Message----- From: ceph-devel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ceph-devel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Casier David Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2015 4:22 AM To: ceph-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Perfomance CPU and IOPS Hello everybody, I have some suggestions to improve the Ceph performance with in case of using Rados Block Device. On FileStore : - Remove all metadata in HDD and used omap on SSD. This reduce IOPS and increases throughput. - Remove journal, thread "sync_entry", and write directly in queue_transaction. To compensate journal, you could use Cache Tier Ceph. ceph-osd must be with less Thread and Lock. With 1 OSD for 1 HDD, i think Lock is necessary only for scrub, recovery or other background job. And only one thread with the use of libaio. I think Ceph-OSD should be very light. Potentially with direct writing aftergiven the transmitted data to other OSD from map. In this case, a lot of ceph-osd could work on the same server. Actually, i work on the repository https://www.github.com/dcasier/ceph. You could see start works on FileStore.* But potentially not safe.
