We can still default it to 128k which makes it just a file change for users.

With a 4MB readahead you will probably struggle to get much more than around 50-80MB/s sequential reads, as the read ahead will only ever hit 1 object at a time. If you want to get nearer 200MB/s then you need to set either 16 or 32MB readahead. I need it to stream to LTO6 tape. Depending on what you are doing this may or may not be required. > > Thanks, > > Ilya _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
