Hi all,
I am seeing a big discrepancy between librbd and kRBD/ext4 performance using FIO with single RBD image. RBD images are coming from same RBD pool, same size and settings for both. The librbd results are quite bad by comparison, and in addition if I scale up the kRBD FIO job with more jobs/threads it increases up to 3-4x results below, but librbd doesn't seem to scale much at all. I figured that it should be close to the kRBD result for a single job/thread before parallelism comes into play though. RBD cache settings are all default.
I can see some obvious differences in FIO output, but not being well versed with FIO I'm not sure what to make of it or where to start diagnosing the discrepancy. Hunted around but haven't found anything useful, any suggestions/insights would be appreciated.
RBD cache settings:
[root@rcmktdc1r72-09-ac rafaell]# ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-osd.659.asok config show | grep rbd_cache
"rbd_cache": "true",
"rbd_cache_writethrough_until_flush": "true",
"rbd_cache_size": "33554432",
"rbd_cache_max_dirty": "25165824",
"rbd_cache_target_dirty": "16777216",
"rbd_cache_max_dirty_age": "1",
"rbd_cache_max_dirty_object": "0",
"rbd_cache_block_writes_upfront": "false",
[root@rcmktdc1r72-09-ac rafaell]#
This is the FIO job file for the kRBD job:
[root@rcprsdc1r72-01-ac rafaell]# cat ext4_test
; -- start job file --
[global]
rw=rw
size=100g
filename=/mnt/rbd/fio_test_file_ext4
