Hi, I have a cluster of two kvm hosts and three ceph servers (osd+mons). I've been doing some basic performance tests, and I discover that I ftp server running in the guest is slow compared to a ftp server in the host. The same with a Samba file server. For example, ncftpget agaisnt the guest reports 42.78 MB/s and agaisn't the host machine 98.10 MB/s. I notice the CPU load during the transfer between the guest and the client machine. Kvm process is eating all the CPU, 60, 70, 100 % during the transfer. Is this a well known issue? Are there something to tune, debug? I'm using libvirt to run the VMs, This is the disk config: <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol="rbd" name="libvirt01/bitt-fs01"/> <auth username='libvirt' type='ceph'> <secret type="ceph" uuid='e66e1ffb-2f7d-8684-727b-0512670e4aa2'/> </auth> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source protocol="rbd" name="libvirt01/bitt-fs01-data"/> <auth username='libvirt' type='ceph'> <secret type="ceph" uuid='e66e1ffb-2f7d-8684-727b-0512670e4aa2'/> </auth> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> Regards, Diego -- Diego Woitasen VHGroup - Linux and Open Source solutions architect www.vhgroup.net _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
