Re: Poor RBD performance as LIO iSCSI target

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've flushed everything - data, pools, configs and reconfigured the whole thing.

I was particularly careful with cache tiering configurations (almost leaving defaults when possible) and it's not locking anymore.
It looks like the cache tiering configuration I had was causing the problem ? I can't put my finger on exactly what/why and I don't have the luxury of time to do this lengthy testing again.

Here's what I dumped as far as config goes before wiping:
========
# for var in size min_size pg_num pgp_num crush_ruleset erasure_code_profile; do ceph osd pool get volumes $var; done
size: 5
min_size: 2
pg_num: 7200
pgp_num: 7200
crush_ruleset: 1
erasure_code_profile: ecvolumes

# for var in size min_size pg_num pgp_num crush_ruleset hit_set_type hit_set_period hit_set_count target_max_objects target_max_bytes cache_target_dirty_ratio cache_target_full_ratio cache_min_flush_age cache_min_evict_age; do ceph osd pool get volumecache $var; done

min_size: 1
pg_num: 7200
pgp_num: 7200
crush_ruleset: 4
hit_set_type: bloom
hit_set_period: 3600
hit_set_count: 1
target_max_objects: 0
target_max_bytes: 100000000000
cache_target_dirty_ratio: 0.5
cache_target_full_ratio: 0.8
cache_min_flush_age: 600
cache_min_evict_age: 1800

# ceph osd erasure-code-profile get ecvolumes
directory=/usr/lib/ceph/erasure-code
k=3
m=2
plugin=jerasure

========

And now:
========

min_size: 3
pg_num: 2048

size: 2
min_size: 1
pg_num: 2048
pgp_num: 2048
crush_ruleset: 4
hit_set_type: bloom
hit_set_period: 3600
hit_set_count: 1
target_max_objects: 0
target_max_bytes: 150000000000
cache_target_dirty_ratio: 0.5
cache_target_full_ratio: 0.8
cache_min_flush_age: 0
cache_min_evict_age: 1800

# ceph osd erasure-code-profile get ecvolumes

========

Crush map hasn't really changed before and after.

FWIW, the benchmarks I pulled out of the setup: https://gist.github.com/dmsimard/2737832d077cfc5eff34
Definite overhead going from krbd to krbd + LIO...
