Hi all 

We have a 4 node ceph cluster that runs generally fine. It is the storage 
backend for our virtualization cluster with Proxmox, that runs about 40 virtual 
machines (80% various Linux Servers). Now that we have implemented monitoring, 
i see that there is a quite constant write load of about 4-10MB/s throughout 
the whole day and even weekends, while read load clearly is bound to daily work 
hours. 
I am wondering whats up with this. Is this normal? 
Outside working hours, there is almost no read load, well under 1MB/s, while 
write Load stays relatively constant at around 5MB/s. During rebalancing of the 
Cluster, normal write load decreases significantly to under 1MB/s. Overall 
performance is not greatly affected by rebalancing as it is tuned to relatively 
slow backfills (osd_max_backfills = '3' | osd_recovery_max_active = '3') 
After rebalance has been finished, the average write load of about 5MB/s 
reappears. 
I have attached a little screenshot for reference.


Can someone shed a little light on this? 
Thanks.

kind regards
