Hi,

We are using Raid cache mode Writeback for SSD journal, I consider this is reason of utilization of SSD journal is so low.
Is it  true? Anybody has experience with this matter, plz confirm.


I turn the writeback mode off for the SSDs, as this seems to make the controller cache a bottleneck.

Thanks for your information.
Here is result when I run atop on 1 Ceph HDD host:

There is some disk busy with over 100%, but the SSD journal (SSD) use only 3%, is it normal? Is there any way to optimize using of SSD journal? Could you give me some keyword?  

Here is configuration of Ceph HDD Host:
Dell PowerEdge R730xd Server Quantity
PE R730/xd Motherboard 1
Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 2.1GHz,20M Cache,8.0GT/s QPI,Turbo,HT,8C/16T (85W) Max Mem 2133MHz 1
16GB RDIMM, 2400MT/s, Dual Rank, x8 Data Width 2
300GB 15K RPM SAS 12Gbps 2.5in Flex Bay Hard Drive - OS Drive (RAID 1) 2
4TB 7.2K RPM NLSAS 12Gbps 512n 3.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive - OSD Drive 7
200GB Solid State Drive SATA Mix Use MLC 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Drive - Journal Drive (RAID 1) 2
PERC H730 Integrated RAID Controller, 1GB Cache (we are using Writeback mode) 1
Dual, Hot-plug, Redundant Power Supply (1+1), 750W 1
Broadcom 5720 QP 1Gb Network Daughter Card 1
QLogic 57810 Dual Port 10Gb Direct Attach/SFP+ Network Adapter 1

For some reasons, we can't configure Jumbo Frame in this cluster. We'll refer your suggest about scrub.

Hello,

in general and as reminder for others, the more information you supply,
the more likely are people to answer and answer with actually pertinent
information.
Since you haven't mentioned the hardware (actual HDD/SSD models, CPU/RAM,
controllers, etc) we're still missing a piece of the puzzle that could be
relevant.

But given what we have some things are more likely than others.
Also, an inline 90KB screenshot of a TEXT iostat output is a bit of a
no-no, never mind that atop instead of top from the start would have given
you and us much more insight.

As Lazlo noted (and it matches your iostat output beautifully), tuning
down scrubs is likely going to have an immediate beneficial impact, as
deep-scrubs in particular are VERY disruptive and I/O intense operations.

However the "osd scrub sleep = 0.1" may make things worse in certain Jewel
versions, as they all went through the unified queue and this would cause
a sleep for ALL operations, not just the scrub ones.
I can't remember when this was fixed and the changelog is of no help, so
hopefully somebody who knows will pipe up.
If in doubt of course, experiment.

In addition to that, if you have low usage times, set
your osd_scrub_(start|end)_hour accordingly and also check the ML archives
for other scrub scheduling tips.

I'd also leave these:
        filestore max sync interval = 100
        filestore min sync interval = 50
        filestore queue max ops  = 5000
        filestore queue committing max ops  = 5000
        journal max write entries  = 1000
        journal queue max ops  = 5000

at their defaults, playing with those parameters requires a good
understanding of how Ceph filestore works AND usually only makes sense
with SSD/NVMe setups.
Especially the first 2 could lead to quite the IO pileup.

See above about deep-scrub, which will read ALL the objects of the PG
being scrubbed and thus not only saturates the OSDs involved with reads
but ALSO dirties the pagecache with cold objects, making other reads on
the nodes slow by requiring them to hit the disks, too.

It would be interesting to see a "ceph -s" when your cluster is busy but
NOT scrubbing, 1600 write op/s are about what 21 HDDs can handle.
So for the time being, disable scrubs entirely and see if your problems
go away.
If so, you now know the limits of your current setup and will want to
avoid hitting them again.

Having a dedicated SSD pool for high-end VMs or a cache-tier (if it is a
fit, not likely in your case) would be a way forward if your client
demands are still growing.
