Dear CephFS gurus...

I would like your advise on how to improve performance without compromising 
reliability for CephFS clients deployed under a WAN.

Currently, our infrastructure relies on:
- ceph infernalis
- a ceph object cluster, with all core infrastructure components sitting in the 
same data centre:
  a./ 8 storage servers (8 OSDs per server running on single spins; 2 SSDs with 
4 partitions each for OSD journals)
  b. 3 MONS
- one active MDS and another MDS on standby replay mode, also in the same data 
centre.
- OSDs, MONs and MDS all natively connected at 10 Gb/s
- cephfs clients mounted via ceph-fuse in different physical geographical 
locations (different network ranges)
- The communication bottleneck between cephfs clients and the core Ceph/CephFS 
infrastructure is not the network but the 1 GB Eth cards of some of the hosts 
where cephfs clients are deployed.

Although this setup is not exactly what we are aiming in the future, for now, I 
would like to ask for suggestions of what parameters to tune to improve 
performance without compromising reliability, specially for those cephfs 
clients under 1 Gb/s links.

In the past I have found some generic article which debated this issue but I am 
not able to find it now, nor other relevant info.

Help is appreciated.

Thank you for you feedback

Cheers
Goncalo
