Re: Ceph performance with 8K blocks.

Thank Mike,
High hopes right ;)

I guess we are not doing too bad compared to you numbers then.  Just wish the gap was a little closer between native and ceph per osd.

Well, in a word, yes. You really expect a network replicated storage system in user space to be comparable to direct attached ssd storage?  For what it's worth, I've got a pile of regular spinning rust, this is what my cluster will do inside a vm with rbd writeback caching on.  As you can see, latency is everything.

dd if=/dev/zero of=1g bs=1M count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 6.26289 s, 171 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=1g bs=1M count=1024 oflag=dsync
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 37.4144 s, 28.7 MB/s

As you can see, latency is a killer.

Any other thoughts on this thread guys.  I am just crazy to want near native SSD performance on a small SSD cluster?

That dd give me this.

dd if=ddbenchfile of=- bs=8K | dd if=- of=/dev/null bs=8K

Which makes sense because the SSD is running as SATA 2 which should give 3Gbps or ~300MBps

I am still trying to better understand the speed difference between the small block speeds seen with dd vs the same small object size with rados.  It is not a difference of a few MB per sec.  It seems to nearly be a factor of 10.  I just want to know if this is a hard limit in Ceph or a factor of the underlying disk speed.  Meaning if I use spindles to read data would the speed be the same or would the read speed be a factor of 10 less than the speed of the underlying disk?

As a general point, this benchmark may not do what you think it does, depending on the version of dd, as writes to /dev/null can be heavily optimised.

Try:
  dd if=ddbenchfile of=- bs=8K | dd if=- of=/dev/null bs=8K
