Quoting in your message looks kind of messy so forgive me if I’m propagating that below. Honestly I agree that the Optanes will give diminishing returns at best for all but the most extreme workloads (which will probably want to use NVMoF natively anyway). >>> >>> This does split up the NVMe disk into 4 OSDs, and creates WAL/DB >> partition on the Optane drive - however, it creates 4 x 223 GB partitions >> on the Optane (whereas I want 35GB partitions). Because you want to use the rest of the space on the Optane for something else? >>> >>> It talks there about "osd op num shards" and "osd op num threads per >> shard" - is there some way to set those, to achieve similar performance to >> say, 4 x OSDs per NVMe drive, but with only 1 x NVMe? Has anybody done any >> testing/benchmarking on this they can share? I’d like to see that too, since I’m curious if this is not still limited by per-OSD serialization. Those options have been around for years haven’t they? I’m also curious how splitting an NVMe device into multipe OSDs could affect write amplification. — aad _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
