RBD Cache and rbd-nbd

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

 



Hello list,

i map ~30 rbds  per xenserver host by using rbd-nbd to run virtual machines on these devices.

I have the following questions:

  • Is it possible to use rbd cache for rbd-nbd? I assume that this is true, but  the documentation does not make a clear statement about this.
    (http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/rbd-config-ref/(
  • If i configure caches like described at http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/rbd-config-ref/, are there dedicated caches per rbd-nbd/krbd device or is there a only a single cache area.
    How can i identify the rbd cache with the tools provided by the operating system?
  • Can you provide some hints how to about adequate cache settings for a write intensive environment (70% write, 30% read)?
    Is it a good idea to specify a huge rbd cache of 1 GB with a max dirty age of 10 seconds?

Regards
Marc
