Re: Migrate cephfs metadata to SSD in running cluster

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

thanks all, still I would appreciate hints on a concrete procedure how to migrate cephfs metadata to a SSD pool, the SSDs being on the same hosts like to spinning disks.

This reference I read:
https://www.sebastien-han.fr/blog/2014/08/25/ceph-mix-sata-and-ssd-within-the-same-box/
Are there other alternatives to this suggested configuration?

I am kind of a little paranoid to start playing around with crush rules in the running system.

Regards,

Mike

    Wido, all,

    can you point me to the "recent benchmarks" so I can have a look?
    How do you define "performance"? I would not expect cephFS
    throughput to change, but it is surprising to me that metadata on
    SSD will have no measurable effect on latency.

operations like "ls", "stat", "find" would become faster, the bottleneck is the slow osds which store file data.

        No, as I said in my previous e-mail, recent benchmarks showed
        that storing CephFS metadata on SSD does not improve performance.

        It still might be good to do since it's not that much data thus
        recovery will go quickly, but don't expect a CephFS performance
        improvement.

                    I've never done migration of cephfs_metadata from
                    spindle disks to
                    ssds. But logically you could achieve this through 2
                    phases.

                      #1 Configure CRUSH rule including spindle disks
                    and ssds
                      #2 Configure CRUSH rule for just pointing to ssds
                       * This would cause massive data shuffling.


                Not really, usually the CephFS metadata isn't that much
                data.

                Recent benchmarks (can't find them now) show that
                storing CephFS metadata on SSD doesn't really improve
                performance though.

                        Happy New Year!

                        Can anyone point me to specific walkthrough /
                        howto instructions how to move
                        cephfs metadata to SSD in a running cluster?

                        How is crush to be modified step by step such
                        that the metadata migrate to
                        SSD?

                        Thanks and regards,

                        Mike
