By default the vstart.sh setup would put all data below a directory called ?dev? in the source tree. In that case you?re using a single spindle. The vstart script isn?t intended for performance testing.

I write raw data into the array, it achieved 2 GB/s. I presumed the performance of ceph could go beyond 1 GB/s. but when I compile and ceph code and run development mode with vstart.sh, the average throughput is only 200 MB/s for rados bench write. > I suspected it was due to the debug mode when I configure the source code, and I disable the gdb with ./configure CFLAGS=?-O3?

Since I did not successfully set up the ceph with ceph-deploy, and there are still some pg at ?creating+incomplete? state, I guess this could impact the performance. > Anyway, could someone give me some suggestions?
