Up to the point that you saturate the network, sure. Note that rados bench defaults to 16 writes at a time, so I would not expect a single rados bench client with 16 concurrent writes to show linear scaling past 16 osds (perhaps 32 if you have replication enabled). For larger numbers of osds, you

If you create a pool with size 1 (no replication), (2) should be somewhere around 3x the speed of (1) assuming the client workload has enough parallelism and is well distributed over objects (so a random rbd workload with a large queue depth rather than a small sequential workload with a small queu

Hi, I understand that Ceph is a scalable distributed storage architecture. However, I'd like to understand if performance on single node cluster is better or worse than a 3 node cluster. Let's say I have the following 2 setups: 1. Single node cluster with one OSD. 2. Three node cluster with one OS
