I suggest setting logging to 0/5 on everything. Depending on your desire for reliability and availability, you may want to change your pool min_size/size to 2/4 and adjust your CRUSH map to include rack. Then instruct CRUSH to place two copies in each rack. That way if you lose power to a rack, you can still continue with minimal interruption.
You would want a rule similar to this:
rule replicated_ruleset {
ruleset 0
type replicated
min_size 1
max_size 10
step take default
step choose firstn 2 type rack
step chooseleaf firstn 2 type host
step emit
}
I would also set:
mon osd downout subtree limit = host
so that if you lose power in a rack it won't try to recover. If you only have two racks, this is not an issue. If you move to three racks, then you can adjust the min_size/size to 2/3 and adjust the rule to:
rule replicated_ruleset {
ruleset 0
type replicated
min_size 1
max_size 10
step take default
step chooseleaf firstn 0 type rack
step emit
}
Other than that, the defaults are pretty good.

I can compare 3700 x 3510 x 3610 tomorrow but I'd be very surprised if the S3500 had a _sustained_ throughput better than 36xx or 37xx. Were you comparing that on the same HBA and in the same way? (No offense, just curious) None taken. I used the same box and swapped out the drives. The only difference was the S3500 has been heavily used, the 3700 was fresh from the package (if anything that should have helped the S3700). for i in {1..8}; do fio --filename=/dev/sda --direct=1 --sync=1 --rw=write --bs=4k --numjobs=$i --iodepth=1 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting --name=journal-test; done # jobs IOPs Bandwidth (KB/s) Intel S3500 (SSDSC2BB240G4) Max 4K RW 7,500 1 5,617 22,468.0 2 8,326 33,305.0 3 11,575 46,301.0 4 13,882 55,529.0 5 16,254 65,020.0 6 17,890 71,562.0 7 19,438 77,752.0 8 20,894 83,576.0 Intel S3700 (SSDSC2BA200G3) Max 4K RW 32,000 1 4,417 17,670.0 2 5,544 22,178.0 3 7,337 29,352.0 4 9,243 36,975.0 5 11,189 44,759.0 6 13,218 52,874.0 7 14,801 59,207.0 8 16,604 66,419.0 9 17,671 70,685.0 10 18,715 74,861.0 11 20,079 80,318.0 12 20,832 83,330.0 13 20,571 82,288.0 14 23,033 92,135.0 15 22,169 88,679.0 16 22,875 91,502.0 > > Mons can use some space, I've experienced logging havoc, leveldb bloating havoc (I have to compact manually or it just grows and grows), and my Mons write quite a lot at times. I guesstimate my mons can write 200GB a day, often less but often more. Maybe that's not normal. I can confirm those numbers tomorrow. True, I haven't had the compact issues so I can't comment on that.

But I think it's easier to just skip dedicated journal drives in this case. I think I remember someone saying that journals on separate SSDs gave them better performance than journals co-located on the SSD, I don't remember though. If warranty replacement is your primary concern, then go with the 3700. If they already have the 3500, they can get it to perform/endure like the 3700 with the only cost is disk space. > > NoSQL is very write intensive - depending on implemenation (applications) of course. But it's not unusual to have 300MB of semi-structured data and 100GB indexes that are rebuilt all the time (of course that indicates the developers were just lazystupid, which is exactly why NoSQL is so popular and Agile :)). Understandable. Our cluster is primarily write because reads are being served out of all the layers of cache. Overprovisioned 3500s will work just as well as the 3700. - ---------------- Robert LeBlanc PGP Fingerprint 79A2 9CA4 6CC4 45DD A904 C70E E654 3BB2 FA62 B9F1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Mailvelope v1.0.2 Comment: https://www.mailvelope.com wsFcBAEBCAAQBQJV32bnCRDmVDuy+mK58QAA0e4P/3jclEcvCRWgOYwUz0bo scf42NOhyNp3bPt4sUMN5h1aptX1s9TtUQxaq9yficjHhIb9ZBt1/SPxzDpf cbWBMgjKgEPHhN7AAGK6HwlQ+zrB8znRPabv81JO9heIwrcOY7LLJTl8kpij 0ktU7oRBn4xTDINTugZnq+YaBL+8N1/5g65lev6nnMs9ngTh4DSmjYuDjxFH Y8YuToImBQtuUQiL4feNN+lA+fPy3k0iYaTS2XvO7yX+w84ElDjUHvjZxOTt kZE5/YMKz7sImhhvLmvRRpqpEbJVPDl6JqhbyMTwpH4fkebrEGY/EbVYV+bT m3Hq6iMIs2NleExShOwdUK0r0cw1MnWPThdEtOAHefefDcsWPZoQpvPiuqwJ MdFxGP1LnX7yx1vYAt89nRhUsBQUvCcparcjjbM4aIe/6Q39Orkqb4sMuygf VyxFRwULDPwnl6xMn/oVIAXycXOMs3dWM12t6UGfe4kmSGEoShzkwimgJcvC lQnrp8u6jFYz6lflMMOQRauJSA4vDAU63JJMb7MLDqI6zy7MqXjnA9kyS1PP Px7mgxLINQ/KG4ymGtlRNKfZVF29fe+CGYZEwrVFsRGAIJsfG9TZj3IhdO1r /9gkXHvvE6NMPQWWNwxnvnFseqdNDbCZl3DFy9fciCgofznNo2sQumY8eG9P k5jF =HkOn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
