Re: Slow write speed on 3-node cluster with 6* SATA Harddisks (~ 3.5 MB/s)

Yes, cache=unsafe has no effect with RBD. Hm, that's strange, you should get ~40*6 MB/s linear write with 6 HDDs and Bluestore.

Try to create a test image and test it with 'fio -ioengine=rbd -name=test -direct=1 -rw=write -bs=4M -iodepth=16 -pool=<pool> -rbdname=<rbd>' from outside a VM.

If you still get 4 MB/s, something's wrong with your ceph. If you get adequate performance, something's wrong with your VM settings.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply, Proxmox offers me "writeback"
(cache=writeback) and "writeback unsafe" (cache=unsafe), however, for my
"dd" test, this makes no difference at all.

I still have write speeds of ~ 4,5 MB/s.

Perhaps "dd" disables the write cache?

Would it perhaps help to put the journal or something else on a SSD?

Best Regards,

Use `cache=writeback` QEMU option for HDD clusters, that should solve
your issue

Hi,
I recently upgraded my 3-node cluster to proxmox 6 / debian-10 and
recreated my ceph cluster with a new release (14.2.4 bluestore) -
basically hoping to gain some I/O speed.

The installation went flawlessly, reading is faster than before (~ 80
MB/s), however, the write speed is still really slow (~ 3,5 MB/s).

I wonder if I can do anything to speed things up?

My Hardware is as the following:

3 Nodes with Supermicro X8DTT-HIBQF Mainboard each,
2 OSD per node (2TB SATA harddisks, WDC WD2000F9YZ-0),
interconnected via Infiniband 40

The network should be reasonably fast, I measure ~ 16 GBit/s with iperf,
so this seems fine.

I use ceph for RBD only, so my measurement is simply doing a very simple
"dd" read and write test within a virtual machine (Debian 8) like the
following:

read:
dd if=/dev/vdb | pv | dd of=/dev/null
-> 80 MB/s


write:
dd if=/dev/zero | pv | dd of=/dev/vdb
-> 3.5 MB/s

When I do the same on the virtual machine on a disk that is on a NFS
storage, I get something about 30 MB/s for reading and writing.

If I disable the write cache on all OSD disks via "hdparm -W 0
/dev/sdX", I gain a little bit of performance, write speed is then 4.3
MB/s.

Thanks to your help from the list I plan to install a second ceph
cluster which is SSD based (Samsung PM1725b) which should be much
faster, however, I still wonder if there is any way to speed up my
harddisk based cluster?

Thank you in advance for any help,

Best Regards,
Hermann
