Hi everyone, I am new to the Ceph. I have 5 PC test cluster on wich id like to test CephFS behavior and performance. I have used ceph-deploy on nod pc1 and installed ceph software (emeperor 0.72.2-0.el6) on all 5 machines. Then set pc1 as mon and mds. PC2, PC3 as OSD and PC4, PC5 as ceph clients. All machines use CentOS 6.5 operating system. Machines in Storage Cluster (pc1, pc2, pc3) use stock kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 and clients(pc4, pc5) use 3.10.38-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64. Machine spec: CPU: 3.5GHz Intel Core i3-4330 (dual core) RAM: 2x4GB 1600MHz RAM HDD: 750GB WD7502ABYS 7200RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s All machines are connected via 1Gb/s ethernet thru switch. OSD use around 730GB disk partition formated with XFS, mounted at /export/sda2/osdX and used in ceph-deploy osd prepare pc2:/export/sda2/osdX and ceph-deploy osd activate pc2:/export/sda2/osdX. Then I have mounted CephFS on clients (pc4, pc5): mount -t ceph 10.0.0.1:6789:/ /mnt/ceph -o name=admin,secretfile=/root/admin.secret I have run some tests and there are the results: write: http://postimg.org/image/zblw6a2jz/ rewrite: http://postimg.org/image/t9mzzszxz/ read: http://postimg.org/image/6e73w046t/ Idealy the speed should be around 100MB/s (network limitation of single client). But the write is around 30 and read around 70. I suspect the write performance is half of the read because client writes the file and its replica at the same time. Still its kind of low it should be around 50 MB/s. Other test that I have run is writing two 10GB files from single client one at the time. I have measured the utitlization of cluster machines with sar and plotted those graphs: pc1 (mon, mds): http://postimg.org/image/44gp2929z/ pc2 (osd1): http://postimg.org/image/p5rommxyj/ pc3 (osd2): http://postimg.org/image/l94fijbop/ pc4 (client): http://postimg.org/image/3kaz82cix/ The network trafic looks strange and both disk on OSD are utilizied on 100%. Is it normal behavior for such load? Im really new to the Ceph and i have done almost no configuration or tunning of the system. At the moment im bit confused about what to do to make the filesystem work better. Can anyone please give me some tips? Thanks a lot.
