The peak performance is higher but it is jumping up and down. Analyzing further I suspect recent cache changes has an impact. While the performance is high , I am seeing lower disk reads (probably because of cache hits) , but the low point is much lower when it is missing the cache probably. You were saying on the standup about adding buffers in the cache in the write path , is that merged into the master ? The buffered writes by default is not merged: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/11301 > The following pull request for cache that got merged seems reasonable. > > https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/11295 This cut the cache size down by 4x, plus whatever your sharding factor is/was.

My guess is the cache size. I can't think of what else would have much of an effect on latency... s -- 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
