XFS block size on RBD / EC vs space amplification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

As we know, with 64k for bluestore_min_alloc_size_hdd (I'm only using HDDs),
in certain conditions, especially with erasure coding,
there's a leak of space while writing objects smaller than 64k x k (EC:k+m).

Every object is divided in k elements, written on different OSD.

My main use case is big (40TB) RBD images mounted as XFS filesystems on Linux servers,
exposed to our backup software.
So, it's mainly big files.

My though, but I'd like some other point of view, is that I could deal with the amplification by using bigger block sizes on my XFS filesystems.
Instead of reducing bluestore_min_alloc_size_hdd on all OSDs.

What do you think ?
