It might be worthwhile testing with a more realistic io-depth instead of 256 in case you are hitting weird limits due to an untested corner case? Does the performance still degrade with "--iodepth=16" or "--iodepth=32"? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Philip Brown" <pbrown@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: "dillaman" <dillaman@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "ceph-users" <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> > Sent: Monday, December 14, 2020 9:01:21 AM > Subject: Re: performance degredation every 30 seconds > > Aha....
