Hi,

Anyone got tips as to how to best benchmark a Ceph blockdevice (RBD)?

I've currently found the more traditional ways (dd, iostat, bonnie++, phoronix 
test suite) and fio which actually supports the rbd-engine.

Though there's not a lot of information about it to be found online (contrary 
to e.g. benchmarking zfs).

Currently I'm using this, closest to the usage of BackupPC-software available 
(small randreads) with fio:

[global]
ioengine=rbd
clientname=admin
pool=[poolname]
rbdname=[rbdname]
rw=randread
randrepeat=1
direct=1
ramp_time=4
bs=4k
[rbd_iodepth32]
iodepth=32

Any ideas (or questions) welcome !

Nino
