Hello, Recently I've started seeing very slow read speeds from the rbd images I have mounted. After some analysis, I suspect the root cause is related to krbd; if I run the rados benchmark, I see read bandwith in the 400-600MB/s range, however if I attempt to read directly from the block device with dd I see speeds in the 10-30MB/s range. Both tests are performed on the same client, and I'm seeing the same issues on a second identical client. Write speeds from both clients into the images mounted have not decreased. The bench pool is configured identically to the rbd pool containing the production images (3 relicas, 2048 pgs). The OSD hosts contain 13x4TB with 3 60GB SSD journals; each journal is a separate partition on the SSD. The cluster currently consists of 100 OSDs. # rados -p bench bench 300 write --no-cleanup Total time run: 300.513664 Total writes made: 15828 Write size: 4194304 Bandwidth (MB/sec): 210.679 Stddev Bandwidth: 22.8303 Max bandwidth (MB/sec): 260 Min bandwidth (MB/sec): 0 Average Latency: 0.303724 Stddev Latency: 0.250786 Max latency: 2.53322 Min latency: 0.105694 # rados -p bench bench 300 seq --no-cleanup Total time run: 143.286444 Total reads made: 15828 Read size: 4194304 Bandwidth (MB/sec): 441.856 Average Latency: 0.14477 Max latency: 2.30728 Min latency: 0.049462 # rados -p bench bench 300 rand --no-cleanup Total time run: 300.151342 Total reads made: 42183 Read size: 4194304 Bandwidth (MB/sec): 562.156 Average Latency: 0.113835 Max latency: 1.7906 Min latency: 0.039457 # dd if=/dev/rbd/rbd1 of=/dev/null bs=4M count=1024 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 348.555 s, 12.3 MB/s Reading from XFS filesystem on top of mapped block device produces similar results, despite the same images performing an order of magnitude faster a few weeks ago. I can't be certain, but this timeframe correlates with when I upgraded from 0.79 to 0.80.1 and then to 0.80.4. The rbd clients, monitors, and osd hosts are all running Debian Wheezy with kernel 3.12. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks! -Steve -- Steve Anthony LTS HPC Support Specialist Lehigh University sma310 at lehigh.edu
