Hi Christian, I'm going to test a full ssd cluster in coming months, I'll send result on the mailing. Do you have tried to use 1 osd by physical disk ? (without raid6) Maybe they are bottleneck in osd daemon, and using osd daemon by disk could help. ----- Mail original ----- De: "Christian Balzer" <chibi at gol.com> ?: ceph-users at lists.ceph.com Envoy?: Mardi 13 Mai 2014 11:03:47 Objet: Re: Slow IOPS on RBD compared to journal and backing devices I'm clearly talking to myself, but whatever. For Greg, I've played with all the pertinent journal and filestore options and TCP nodelay, no changes at all. Is there anybody on this ML who's running a Ceph cluster with a fast network and FAST filestore, so like me with a big HW cache in front of a RAID/JBODs or using SSDs for final storage? If so, what results do you get out of the fio statement below per OSD? In my case with 4 OSDs and 3200 IOPS that's about 800 IOPS per OSD, which is of course vastly faster than the normal indvidual HDDs could do. So I'm wondering if I'm hitting some inherent limitation of how fast a single OSD (as in the software) can handle IOPS, given that everything else has been ruled out from where I stand. This would also explain why none of the option changes or the use of RBD caching has any measurable effect in the test case below. As in, a slow OSD aka single HDD with journal on the same disk would clearly benefit from even the small 32MB standard RBD cache, while in my test case the only time the caching becomes noticeable is if I increase the cache size to something larger than the test data size. ^o^ On the other hand if people here regularly get thousands or tens of thousands IOPS per OSD with the appropriate HW I'm stumped.
