Do you know what's wrong here? > You may want to spend some time on figuring out what tools to use for testing and also what your testing aims are. As in, bandwidth or IOPS, most people tend to run into IOPS limitations long before they run out of bandwidth. FIO gives you a much better control over what you're testing and how. Are the above "dd"s your actual full command lines? So you read and wrote the entire device? Actual results instead of "better" would be nice, too. Either way, Ceph is known to be "slow" when doing sequential reads, google "ceph readahead". Also without specifying otherwise, your results are also skewed by the pagecache and don't necessarily reflect actual Ceph performance.
