Re: CEPH 16.2.x: disappointing I/O performance

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

 



Maybe some info is missing but 7k write IOPs at 4k block size seem fairly
decent (as you also state) - the bandwidth automatically follows from that
so not sure what you're expecting?
I am a bit puzzled though - by my math 7k IOPS at 4k should only be
27MiB/sec - not sure how the 120MiB/sec was achieved
The read benchmark seems in line with 13k IOPS at 4k making around
52MiB/sec bandwidth which again is expected.
