This usually includes the main ceph network. It's just too much grief. You can consider using it for limited-access networks (e.g. ceph cluster network, hypervisor migration network, etc) where you know every switch & host is tuned correctly. (This works even when those nets share a vlan trunk with non-jumbo vlans - just set the max value on the trunk itself, and individual values on each vlan.) * If you are pinging make sure it doesn't fragment otherwise you will get misleading results: e.g. ping -M do -s 9000 x.x.x.x * Do not assume that 9000 is the best value. It depends on your NICs, your switch, kernel/device parameters, etc. Try different values (using iperf3). As an example the results below are using a small cheap Mikrotek 10G switch and HPE 10G NICs. It highlights how in this configuration 9000 is worse than 1500, but that 5139 is optimal yet 5140 is worst. The same pattern (obviously with different values) was apparent when multiple tests were run concurrently. Always test your own network in a controlled manner. And of course if you introduce anything different later on, test again. With enterprise-grade kit this might not be so common, but always test if you fiddle. MTU Gbps (actual data transfer values using iperf3) - one particular configuration only 9600 8.91 (max value) 9000 8.91 8000 8.91 7000 8.91 6000 8.91 5500 8.17 5200 7.71 5150 7.64 5140 7.62 5139 9.81 (optimal) 5138 9.81 5137 9.81 5135 9.81 5130 9.81 5120 9.81 5100 9.81 5000 9.81 4000 9.76 3000 9.68 2000 9.28 1500 9.37 (default) Whether any of this will make a tangible difference for ceph is moot. I just spend a little time getting the network stack correct as above, then leave it. That way I know I am probably getting some benefit, and not doing any harm. If you blindly change things you may well do harm that can manifest itself in all sorts of ways outside of Ceph. Getting some test results for this using Ceph will be easy; getting MEANINGFUL results that way will be hard.

I assume with such setup you have the luxury to not notice many optimizations. What I mostly read is that changing to mtu 9000 will allow you to better saturate the 10Gbit adapter, and I expect this to show on a low end busy cluster. Don't you have any test results of such a setup? -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Re: [External Email] Re: Ceph Nautius not working after setting MTU 9000 Don't optimize stuff without benchmarking *before and after*, don't apply random tuning tipps from the Internet without benchmarking them.
