Re: Impact of fancy striping

Hi James,

Thank you for this clarification. I am quite aware of that, which is why the journals are on SAS disks in RAID0 (SSDs out of scope).

I still have trouble believing that fast-but-not-super-fast journals is the main reason for the poor performances observed. Maybe I am mistaken?

Best regards,

- explain why the journal setup is way more important than striping settings;

I'm not sure if it's what you're asking, but any write must be physically written to the journal before the operation is acknowledged. So the overall cluster performance (or rather write latency) is always governed by the speed of those journals. Data is then gathered up into (hopefully) larger blocks and committed to OSDs later.
