Hi all,

I'm looking into other ways I can boost the performance of RBD devices
on the cluster here and I happened to see these settings:

http://ceph.com/docs/next/rbd/rbd-config-ref/

A query, is it possible for the cache mentioned there to be paged out to
swap residing on a SSD or is it purely RAM-only?

I see mention of cache-tiers, but these will be at the wrong end of the
Ethernet cable for my usage: I want the cache on the Ceph clients
themselves not back at the OSDs.


So you want this to serve as a read cache as well?

The librbd cache is mainly used as a write-cache for small writes, it's not indented to be a large read cache.

Regards,
