Hey all, This is a copy of Bug #6040 (http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/6040) I created in the tracker. Thought I would pass it through the list as well, to get an idea if anyone else is running into it. It may only show under higher loads. More info about my setup is in the bug-report above. Here goes: I'm running a Ceph-cluster with 3 nodes, each of which runs a mon, osd and mds. I'm using RBD on this cluster as storage for KVM, CephFS is unused at this time. While still on v0.61.7 Cuttlefish, I got 70-100 +MB/sec on simple linear writes to a file with `dd' inside a VM on this cluster under regular load and the osds usually averaged 20-100% CPU-utilisation in `top'. After the upgrade to Dumpling, CPU-usage for the osds shot up to 100% to 400% in `top' (multi-core system) and the speed for my writes with `dd' inside a VM dropped to 20-40MB/sec. Users complained that disk-access inside the VMs was significantly slower and the backups of the RBD-store I was running, also got behind quickly. After downgrading only the osds to v0.61.7 Cuttlefish and leaving the rest at 0.67 Dumpling, speed and load returned to normal. I have repeated this performance-hit upon upgrade on a similar test-cluster under no additional load at all. Although CPU-usage for the osds wasn't as dramatic during these tests because there was no base-load from other VMs, I/O-performance dropped significantly after upgrading during these tests as well, and returned to normal after downgrading the osds. I'm not sure what to make of it. There are no visible errors in the logs and everything runs and reports good health, it's just a lot slower, with a lot more CPU-usage.
