Re: rbd cache did not help improve performance

thanks, with your help, I set the read ahead parameter. What is the cache parameter for kernel module rbd?
Such as:
1) what is the cache size?
2) Does it support write back?
3) Will read ahead be disabled if max bytes has been read into cache? (similar the concept as "rbd_readahead_disable_after_bytes".

thanks again.

As Tom stated, RBD cache only works if your client is using librbd (KVM clients for instance). 
Using the kernel RBD client, one of the parameter you can tune to optimize sequential read is increasing /sys/class/block/rbd4/queue/read_ahead_kb

I can use the following command to change parameter, for example as the following,  but not sure whether it will work.

 ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-mon.openpower-0.asok config set rbd_readahead_disable_after_bytes 0

If you are mapping the RBD with the kernel driver then you're not using librbd so these settings will have no effect I believe.  The kernel driver does its own caching but I don't believe there are any settings to change its default behavior.

You may want to set "ioengine=rbd", I guess.

Subject:   rbd cache did not help improve performance

Hi, I set the following parameters in ceph.conf

[client]
rbd cache=true
rbd cache size= 25769803776
rbd readahead disable after byte=0


map a rbd image to a rbd device then run fio testing on 4k read as the command
./fio -filename=/dev/rbd4 -direct=1 -iodepth 64 -thread -rw=read -ioengine=aio -bs=4K -size=500G -numjobs=32 -runtime=300 -group_reporting -name=mytest2

Compared the result with setting rbd cache=false and enable cache model, I did not see performance improved by librbd cache.

Is my setting not right, or it is true that ceph librbd cache will not have benefit on 4k seq read?

thanks.
