And I > would expect at least to saturate the 10gig with sequential writes also In addition to the advice wido is providing (which I wholeheartedly agree with!), you might want to check your controller/disk configuration. If you have journals on the same disks as the data, some times putting the disks into single-disk RAID0 LUNs with writeback cache enabled can help keep journal and data writes from causing seek contention. This only works if you have a controller with cache and a battery though. > > Thank you > > > > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users at lists.ceph.com > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com >
