Hello, Note that the tests below were done on a VM with RBD cache disabled, so the "direct=1" flag in FIO had a similar impact to "sync=1". If your databases are MySQL, Oracle or something else that can use O_DIRECT, RBD caching can improve things dramatically for you (with the same risks that o

Thx Christian for elaborating on this appreciate it, I will rerun some of my benchmarks and take your advice into consideration. I have also found maximum performance recommendations for the dell 730xd bios settings, hope these make sense: http://pasteboard.co/guHVMQVly.jpg I will set all these set

Ok thanks for sharing. yes my journals are Intel S3610 200GB, which I partition in 4 partitions each ~45GB. When I ceph-deploy I declare these as the journals of the OSDs. I was trying to understand the blocking, and how much my SAS OSDs affected my performance. I have a total of 9 hosts, 158 OSDs

Hi list, while I know that writes in the RADOS backend are sync() can anyone please explain when the cluster will return on a write call for RBD from VMs? Will data be considered synced one written to the journal or all the way to the OSD drive? Each host in my cluster has 5x Intel S3610, and 18x1
