So right now you're using the Ceph filesystem, rather than RBD, right? What processes do you have running on which machines/VMs? What's the CPU usage on the ceph-mds process? And a warning: the filesystem, while nifty, is not yet production-ready — it works great for some use cases but there are some serious known bugs that aren't very hard to trigger, as we've been doing a lot of QA on RADOS and its associated systems (which the filesystem depends on) at the expense of the filesystem itself. -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
