Hi, I don't have tested yet rbd readhead, but maybe do you reach qemu limit. (by default qemu can use only 1thread/1core to manage ios, check you qemu cpu). Do you have some performance results ? how many iops ? but I have had 4x improvement in qemu-kvm, with virtio-scsi + num_queues + lasts kernel. (4k seq coalesced reads in qemu, was doing bigger iops to ceph). libvirt : <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi' num_queues='8'/> Regards, Alexandre ----- Mail original ----- De: "duan xufeng" <duan.xufeng@xxxxxxxxxx> À: "ceph-users" <ceph-users@xxxxxxxx> Cc: "si dawei" <si.dawei@xxxxxxxxxx> Envoyé: Vendredi 21 Novembre 2014 03:58:38 Objet: RBD read-ahead didn't improve 4K read performance hi, I upgraded CEPH to 0.87 for rbd readahead , but can't see any performance improvement in 4K seq read in the VM. How can I know if the readahead is take effect? thanks. ceph.conf [client] rbd_cache = true rbd_cache_size = 335544320 rbd_cache_max_dirty = 251658240 rbd_cache_target_dirty = 167772160 rbd readahead trigger requests = 1 rbd readahead max bytes = 4194304 rbd readahead disable after bytes = 0 -------------------------------------------------------- ZTE Information Security Notice: The information contained in this mail (and any attachment transmitted herewith) is privileged and confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s).
