Guang, Try to play around with the following conf attributes specially filestore_max_inline_xattr_size and filestore_max_inline_xattrs // Use omap for xattrs for attrs over // filestore_max_inline_xattr_size or OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattr_size, OPT_U32, 0) //Override OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattr_size_xfs, OPT_U32, 65536) OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattr_size_btrfs, OPT_U32, 2048) OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattr_size_other, OPT_U32, 512) // for more than filestore_max_inline_xattrs attrs OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattrs, OPT_U32, 0) //Override OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattrs_xfs, OPT_U32, 10) OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattrs_btrfs, OPT_U32, 10) OPTION(filestore_max_inline_xattrs_other, OPT_U32, 2) I think the behavior for XFS is if the xttrs are more than 10, it will use OMAP.

I would like to check if anybody has experience with offloading the metadata to omap: 1> Offload everything to omap? If this is the case, should we make the inode size as 512 (instead of 2k)? 2> Partial offload the metadata to omap, e.g. only offloading the rgw specified metadata to omap. Any sharing is deeply appreciated. Thanks!
