I've tested it now on linux with a virtio disk-drive:

     <disk type='network' device='disk'>
       <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
       <source protocol='rbd' name='rd/backup:rbd_cache=1'>
         <host name='rd-c2.ceph' port='6789'/>
         <host name='rd-c1.ceph' port='6789'/>
         <host name='wag-c1.ceph' port='6789'/>
       </source>
       <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x0'/>
     </disk>

virsh console to the running VM.
Next - Write Test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/bigfile bs=2M &

Serial console gets jerky, VM gets unresponsive. It doesn't crash, but
it's not 'healthy' either. CPU load isn't very high, it's in the waiting
state a lot:

Does this only happen with rbd_cache turned on? If so, it may be the
same cause as http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/3737.

I guess first question is does the jerky mouse behavior only happen
during reads or writes too?  How is the CPU utilization in each case?

Let me know if I can help out with testing somehow.

Betreff: Re:  I/O Speed Comparisons

Thanks for all of this feedback guys!  It gives us some good data to try
to replicate on our end.  Hopefully I'll have some time next week to
take a look.

Thanks!

Mark,

If it's any help, we've done a small totally unreliable benchmark on our
end. For a KVM instance, we had:
260MB/s write, 200MB/s read on local SAS disks, attached as LVM LVs,
250MB/s write, 90MB/s read on RBD, 32 osds, all SATA.

All sequential, a 10G network. It's more than enough currently but we'd
like to improve RBD read performance.

Cheers,

      Mark,


      I would just like to add, we too are seeing the same behavior with
      QEMU/KVM/RBD.  Maybe it is a common symptom of high IO with this
setup.



      Regards,





      Andrew

                  If you are doing sequential reads, you may benefit by
                  increasing the
                  read_ahead_kb value for each device in
                  /sys/block/<device>/queue on the
                  OSD hosts.


              Thanks, that didn't really help. It seems the VM has to
              handle too much
              I/O, even the mouse-cursor is jerking over the screen when
              connecting
              via vnc. I guess this is the wrong list, but it has somehow
              to do with
              librbd in connection with kvm, as the same machine on LVM
              works just ok.


          Thanks for the heads up Wolfgang.  I'm going to be looking into
          QEMU/KVM
          RBD performance in the coming weeks so I'll try to watch out
for
          this
          behaviour.
