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 ?
Hi Greg, First things first, are you doing kernel rbd or qemu/kvm? If
you are doing qemu/kvm, make sure you are using virtio disks. This can
have a pretty big performance impact. Next, are you using RBD cache?
With 0.56.4 there are some performance issues with large sequential
writes if cache is on, but it does provide benefit for small sequential
writes. In general RBD cache behaviour has improved with Cuttlefish.
Beyond that, are the pools being targeted by RBD and rados bench setup
the same way? Same number of Pgs? Same replication?
Thanks!
