Something seems to have happened to the rbd I was writing to. Earlier my instances had /dev/vdb attached, and I ran my fio tests against it. After a while the performance got terrible, I'm not sure why this happened. However, I have deleted and recreated the block to the instance and the IOPS got recovered. I wanted to test with the intel_idle.max_cstate=0 but got misled by the rbd being terribly slow, so I thought the parameter you suggested caused the slowness, maybe something else caused this. I will try ntel_idle.max_cstate=0 again with a fresh block device to rule out any cause due to the additional kernel parameter. thx will On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 6:40 PM, William Josefsson <william.josefson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 6:16 PM, Nick Fisk <nick@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William Josefsson >>> Sent: 17 October 2016 10:39 >>> To: nick@xxxxxxxxxx >>> Cc: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>> Subject: Re: RBD with SSD journals and SAS OSDs >>> >>> hi nick, I earlier did cpupower frequency-set --cpu-governor performance on all my hosts, which bumped all CPUs up to almost max >>> speed or more. >> >> Did you also set /check the c-states, this can have a large impact as well? > > hi nick, yes I tried intel_idle.max_cstate=0 today, and there weren't > any difference, my performance has got terrible now too..
