Hello list, i map ~30 rbds per xenserver <https://github.com/vico-research-and-consulting/RBDSR> host by using rbd-nbd to run virtual machines on these devices.
I have the following questions: * Is it possible to use rbd cache for rbd-nbd? I assume that this is true, but the documentation does not make a clear statement about this. (http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/rbd-config-ref/( * If i configure caches like described at http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/rbd-config-ref/, are there dedicated caches per rbd-nbd/krbd device or is there a only a single cache area. How can i identify the rbd cache with the tools provided by the operating system? * Can you provide some hints how to about adequate cache settings for a write intensive environment (70% write, 30% read)? Is it a good idea to specify a huge rbd cache of 1 GB with a max dirty age of 10 seconds? Regards Marc Our system: * Luminous/12.2.5 * Ubuntu 16.04 * 5 OSD Nodes (24*8 TB HDD OSDs, 48*1TB SSD OSDS, Bluestore, 6Gb Cache per OSD) * Size per OSD, 192GB RAM, 56 HT CPUs) * 3 Mons (64 GB RAM, 200GB SSD, 4 visible CPUs) * 2 * 10 GBIT, SFP+, bonded xmit_hash_policy layer3+4
