Re: Erasure pool performance expectations

Hey Nick,

I've been playing around with the osd_tier_promote_max_bytes_sec setting but I'm not really seeing any changes. 

What would be expected when setting a max bytes value? I would expected that my OSDs would throttle themselves to this rate when doing promotes but this doesn't seem to be the case. When I set it to 2MB I would expect a node with 10 OSDs to do a max of 20MB/s during promotions. Is this math correct? 

Thanks,

Peter

Sorry Peter, I missed your last email. You can also specify that setting in the ceph.conf, ie I have in mine

osd_tier_promote_max_bytes_sec = 4000000
