I've initially disabled power-saving features, which nicely improved the network latency. Btw, the first interesting find: I enabled 'rbd_balance_parent_reads' on the clients, and single-thread reads now scale much better, I routinely get similar readings from a single disk doing 4k reads with 1 thread: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: bw=323MiB/s (339MB/s), 323MiB/s-323MiB/s (339MB/s-339MB/s), io=18.9GiB (20.3GB), run=60001-60001msec Disk stats (read/write): vdc: ios=77451/0, merge=0/0, ticks=80269/0, in_queue=19964, util=97.94% No more 50 MB/s reads, yay! :-) The option, which I found in Redhat's docs, suggests that "Ceph typically reads objects from the primary OSD. Since reads are immutable, you may enable this feature to balance parent reads between the primary OSD and the replicas." /Z On Wed, Oct 6, 2021 at 10:45 AM Anthony D'Atri <anthony.datri@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > I guess having excessive resources shouldn't hurt performance? :-) > > You’d think so — but I’ve seen a situation where it seemed to. > > Dedicated mon nodes with dual CPUs far in excess of what they needed. > C-state flapping appeared to negatively impact the NIC driver and network > (and mon) performance suffered. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
