<< Ceph performance in general (without read_ahead_kb) will be lower specially in all flash as the requests will be serialized within a PG
I meant to say Ceph sequential performance..Sorry for the spam..

This is with random reads though in Ubuntu. We had to bump up read_ahead_kb from default 128KB to 512KB to work around that. But, in RHEL we saw all sorts of issues with read_ahead_kb for small block random reads and I think it is already default to 4MB or so..If so, try to reduce it to 512KB and see.. Generally, for sequential reads, you need to play with read_ahead_kb to achieve better performance. Ceph performance in general (without read_ahead_kb) will be lower specially in all flash as the requests will be serialized within a PG. Our test is with all flash though and take my comments with a grain of salt in case of ceph + HDD..

I am running with CentOS7.2. Have you seen this pattern before? - epk From: Somnath Roy [mailto:somnath....@sandisk.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2016 4:44 PM To: EP Komarla <ep.koma...@flextronics.com<mailto:ep.koma...@flextronics.com>>; ceph-users@lists.ceph.com<mailto:ceph-users@lists.ceph.com> Subject: RE: Ceph performance pattern Which OS/kernel you are running with ? Try setting bigger read_ahead_kb for sequential runs.

I am trying to understand this pattern: - why there is a dip in the performance for block sizes 32k-256k? - is this an expected performance graph? - have you seen this kind of pattern before [cid:image001.png@01D1E760.729A3340] My cluster details: Ceph: Hammer release Cluster: 6 nodes (dual Intel sockets) each with 20 OSDs and 4 SSDs (5 OSD journals on one SSD) Client network: 10Gbps Cluster network: 10Gbps FIO test: - 2 Client servers - Sequential Read - Run time of 600 seconds - Filesize = 1TB - 10 rbd images per client - Queue depth=16 Any ideas on tuning this cluster? Where should I look first? Thanks, - epk Legal Disclaimer: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential.
