Hi George,

the docs [0] strongly recommend to have dedicated SSD or NVMe OSDs for the metadata pool. You'll also benefit from dedicated DB/WAL devices. But as Joachim already stated, it depends on a couple of factors like the number of clients, the load they produce, file sizes etc. There's no easy answer.

Regards,
Eugen

Hi Kyriazis,

depends on the workload.
I would recommend to add  ssd/nvme DB/WAL to each osd.

Hello ceph-users,

I’ve been wondering…. I have a proxmox hdd-based cephfs pool with no
DB/WAL drives.  I also have ssd drives in this setup used for other pools.

What would increase the speed of the hdd-based cephfs more, and in what
usage scenarios:

1. Adding ssd/nvme DB/WAL drives for each node
2. Moving the metadata pool for my cephfs to ssd
3. Increasing the performance of the network.  I currently have 10gbe
links.

It doesn’t look like the network is currently saturated, so I’m thinking
(3) is not a solution.  However, if I choose any of the other options,
would I need to also upgrade the network so that the network does not
become a bottleneck?

Thank you!

George
