Hi Zhenshi, thanks very much for the reply. Yes I know it is ood that the bluestore is deployed only with a separate db device but no a WAL device. The cluster was deployed in k8s using rook. I was told it was because the rook we used didn't support that. Moreover, the comparison was made on osd bench, so the network should not be the case. As far as the storage node hardware, although two clusters are indeed different, their CPUs and HDDs do have almost same performance numbers. I haven't compared SSDs that are used as db/WAL devices, it might cause difference, but I am not sure if it can make two times difference. ---Original--- From: "Zhenshi Zhou"<deaderzzs@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, Jul 15, 2020 18:39 PM To: "rainning"<tweetypie@xxxxxx>; Cc: "ceph-users"<ceph-users@xxxxxxx>; Subject: Re: osd bench with or without a separate WAL device deployed I deployed the cluster either with separate db/wal or put db/wal/data together. Never tried to have only a seperate db. AFAIK wal does have an effect on writing but I'm not sure if it could be two times of the bench value. Hardware and network environment are also important factors. rainning <tweetypie@xxxxxx> 于2020年7月15日周三 下午4:35写道: > Hi all, > > > I am wondering if there is any performance comparison done on osd bench > with and without a separate WAL device deployed given that there is always > a separate db device deployed on SSD in both cases. > > > The reason I am asking this question is that we have two clusters and osds > in one have separate db and WAL device deployed on SSD but osds in another > only have a separate db device deployed.
