Hi,

>>dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rbd0 writes at 5MB/s -

you are testing with a single thread/iodepth=1 sequentially here.
Then only 1 disk at time, and you have network latency too.

rados bench is doing 16 concurrent write.


Try to test with fio for example, with bigger iodepth,  small block/big block , seq/rand.

Objet:  Optimizing terrible RBD performance

Hello, 

If this is too long for you, TL;DR; section on the bottom 

I created a CEPH cluster made of 3 SuperMicro servers, each with 2 OSD 
(WD RED spinning drives) and I would like to optimize the performance of 
RBD, which I believe is blocked by some wrong CEPH configuration, 
because from my observation all resources (CPU, RAM, network, disks) are 
basically unused / idling even when I put load on the RBD. 

Each drive should be 50MB/s read / write and when I run RADOS benchmark, 
I see values that are somewhat acceptable, interesting part is that when 
I run RADOS benchmark, I can see all disks read / write to their limits, 
I can see heavy network utilization and even some CPU utilization - on 
other hand, when I put any load on the RBD device, performance is 
terrible, reading is very slow (20MB/s) writing as well (5 - 20MB/s), 
running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rbd0 writes at 5MB/s - and the most 
weird part - resources are almost unused - no CPU usage, no network 
traffic, minimal disk activity. 

It looks to me like if CEPH wasn't even trying to perform much as long 
as the access is via RBD, did anyone ever saw this kind of issue? Is 
there any way to track down why it is so slow? Here are some outputs: 

[root@ceph1 cephadm]# ceph --version 
ceph version 14.2.4 (75f4de193b3ea58512f204623e6c5a16e6c1e1ba) nautilus 
(stable) 
[root@ceph1 cephadm]# ceph health 
HEALTH_OK 

I would expect write speed to be at least the 50MB/s which is speed when 
writing to disks directly, rados bench does this speed (sometimes even 
more): 

[root@ceph1 cephadm]# rados bench -p testbench 10 write --no-cleanup 
hints = 1

10 16 154 138 55.1916 44 0.227044 1.04071 

Read speed is even higher as it's probably reading from multiple devices 
at once: 

[root@ceph1 cephadm]# rados bench -p testbench 100 seq 
hints = 1 
sec Cur ops started finished avg MB/s cur MB/s last lat(s) avg 
lat(s) 
0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0

2 13 161 148 295.952 272 0.606672 0.181417 


Running rbd bench show writes at 50MB/s (which is OK) and reads at 
20MB/s (not so OK), but the REAL performance is much worse - when I 
actually access the block device and try to write or read anything it's 
sometimes extremely low as in 5MB/s or 20MB/s only. 

Why is that? What can I do to debug / trace / optimize this issue? I 
don't know if there is any point in upgrading the hardware if according 
to monitoring current HW is basically not being utilized at all. 


TL;DR; 

I created a ceph cluster from 6 OSD (dedicated 1G net, 6 4TB spinning 
drives), the rados performance benchmark shows acceptable performance, 
but RBD peformance is absolutely terrible (very slow read and very slow 
write). When I put any kind of load on cluster almost all resources are 
unused / idling, so this makes me feel like software configuration issue.
