Hi, ok the write test also shows now a more expected behaviour. As it seems to me, if there is more writing than osd_tier_promote_max_bytes_sec the write's are going directly against the cold pool ( which is a really good behaviour ( seriously ) ). But that should be definitly added to the documentation. Otherwise (new) people have no chance to find that. The search engines show < 10 hits for "osd_tier_promote_max_bytes_sec" one of it in http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2016-February/007632.html which has a totally different topic. Anyway, super super big thanks for your time ! -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards Oliver Dzombic IP-Interactive mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Anschrift: IP Interactive UG ( haftungsbeschraenkt ) Zum Sonnenberg 1-3 63571 Gelnhausen HRB 93402 beim Amtsgericht Hanau Geschäftsführung: Oliver Dzombic Steuer Nr.: 35 236 3622 1 UST ID: DE274086107 Am 14.06.2016 um 07:47 schrieb Nick Fisk: > osd_tier_promote_max_objects_sec > and > osd_tier_promote_max_bytes_sec > > is what you are looking for, I think by default its set to 5MB/s, which > would roughly correlate to why you are only seeing around 8 objects each > time being promoted.
