Hello folks,
I'm in the process of testing CEPH and RBD, I have set up a small
cluster of hosts running each a MON and an OSD with both journal and
data on the same SSD (ok this is stupid but this is simple to verify the
disks are not the bottleneck for 1 client). All nodes are connected on a
1Gb network (no dedicated network for OSDs, shame on me :).
Summary : the RBD performance is poor compared to benchmark
A 5 seconds seq read benchmark shows something like this :
sec Cur ops started finished avg MB/s cur MB/s last lat avg lat
0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0
1 16 39 23 91.9586 92 0.966117 0.431249
2 16 64 48 95.9602 100 0.513435 0.53849
3 16 90 74 98.6317 104 0.25631 0.55494
4 11 95 84 83.9735 40 1.80038 0.58712
Total time run: 4.165747
Total reads made: 95
Read size: 4194304
Bandwidth (MB/sec): 91.220
Average Latency: 0.678901
Max latency: 1.80038
Min latency: 0.104719
91MB read performance, quite good !
Now the RBD performance :
root@client:~# dd if=/dev/rbd1 of=/dev/null bs=4M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
419430400 bytes (419 MB) copied, 13.0568 s, 32.1 MB/s
There is a 3x performance factor (same for write: ~60M benchmark, ~20M
dd on block device)
The network is ok, the CPU is also ok on all OSDs.
CEPH is Bobtail 0.56.4, linux is 3.8.1 arm (vanilla release + some
patches for the SoC being used)
Can you show me the starting point for digging into this ?
Thanks!
