Hi, I've been looking on the internet regarding two settings which might influence performance with librbd. When attaching a disk with Qemu you can set a few things: - cache - aio The default for libvirt (in both CloudStack and OpenStack) for 'cache' is 'none'. Is that still the recommend value combined with librbd (write)cache? In libvirt you can set 'io' to: - native - threads This translates to the 'aio' flags to Qemu. What is recommended here? I found: - io=native for block device based VMs - io=threads for file-based VMs This seems to suggest that 'native' should be used for librbd. Is that still correct? librbd has a setting called 'rbd_op_threads' which seems to be related to AIO. When does this kick in? Yes, a lot of questions where the internet gives a lot of answers. Some feedback would be nice! Thanks, Wido _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
