What difference can be expected if you have a 100 iops hdd and you start using wal/db/journals on ssd? What would this 100 iops increase to (estimating)? -----Original Message----- From: Janne Johansson [mailto:icepic.dz@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: donderdag 9 mei 2019 16:13 To: Feng Zhang Cc: ceph-users Subject: Re: maximum rebuild speed for erasure coding pool Den tors 9 maj 2019 kl 15:46 skrev Feng Zhang <prod.feng@xxxxxxxxx>: For erasure pool, suppose I have 10 nodes, each has 10 6TB drives, so in total 100 drives. I make a 4+2 erasure pool, failure domain is host/node. Then if one drive failed, (assume the 6TB is fully used), what the maximum speed the recovering process can have? Also suppose the cluster network is 10GbE, each disk has maximum 200MB/s sequential throughput. I think IOPS is what I experience makes the largest impact during recovery of spinning drives, not speed of sequential perf, so when recoverying you will see progress (on older clusters at least) in terms of number of misplaced/degraded objects like: misplaced 3454/34989583 objects (0.0123%) and the first number (here is my guess) moves at the speed of the IOPS of the drives being repaired, so if your drive(s) from which you rebuild can do 100 IOPS, then the above scenario will take ~34 seconds, even if that sizes and raw speeds should indicate something else about how fast they could move 0.0123% of your stored data. As soon as you get super fast SSDs and NVMEs, the limit moves somewhere else since they have crazy IOPS numbers, and hence will repair lots faster, but if you have only spinning drives, then "don't hold your breath" is good advice, since it will take longer than 6 TB divided by 200MB/s (8h20m) if you are unlucky and other drives can't help out in the rebuild. Fancy fast WAL/DB/Journals probably help a lot here, since they do affect the "iops" you experience from your spin-drive OSDs. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
