You should not place the osd journal on the same physical disk. Try to put the journal on a separate disk or even better, on ssd. This will help alot. I would use 1 ssd per 4 OSDs and the ssd should sustain 400mb/sek writes (that's what those 4 4TB drives can handle sequential iirc) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Florian Wiessner Smart Weblications GmbH Martinsberger Str. 1 D-95119 Naila fon.: +49 9282 9638 200 fax.: +49 9282 9638 205 24/7: +49 900 144 000 00 - 0,99 EUR/Min* http://www.smart-weblications.de -- Sitz der Gesellschaft: Naila Geschäftsführer: Florian Wiessner HRB-Nr.: HRB 3840 Amtsgericht Hof *aus dem dt.
