Re: QEMU -drive setting (if=none) for rbd

OpenStack doesn't know how to set different caching options for attached block device.

This might be implemented for Havana.

Cheers.

Hi,

We are currently testing the performance with rbd caching enabled with write-back mode on our openstack (grizzly) nova nodes. By default, nova fires up the rbd volumes with "if=none" mode evidenced by the following cmd line from "ps | grep".

-drive file=rbd:ceph-openstack-volumes/volume-949e2e32-20c7-45cf-b41b-46951c78708b:id=ceph-openstack-volumes:key=12347I9RsEoIDBAAi2t+M6+7zMMZoMM+aasiog==:auth_supported=cephx\;none,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,serial=949e2e32-20c7-45cf-b41b-46951c78708b,cache=writeback 

Does anyone know if this should be set to anything else (e.g., if=virtio suggested by some qemu posts in general)? Given that the underline network stack for RBD IO is provided by the linux kenerl instead, does this option bear any relevance for rbd volume performance inside guest VM?

there should be something like "-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0" in reference to the id= for the drive-specification.

Furthermore to really check rbd_cache there is s/t like:

rbd_cache=true:rbd_cache_size=33554432:rbd_cache_max_dirty=16777216:rbd_cache_target_dirty=8388608

missing in the ":"-list, perhaps after :none:rbd_cache=true:rbd_cache_size=33554432:rbd_cache_max_dirty=16777216:rbd_cache_target_dirty=8388608

cache=writeback is necessary, too.
No idea, though, how to teach openstack to use these parameters, sorry.


Regards,

Oliver.


Thanks. --weiguo
