Hi,

I have a ceph cluster setup (with 45 sata disk journal on disks) and get
only 450mb/sec writes seq (maximum playing around with threads in rados
bench) with replica of 2

Which is about ~20Mb writes per disk (what y see in atop also)
theoretically with replica2 and having journals on disk should be 45 X
100mb (sata) / 2 (replica) / 2 (journal writes) which makes it 1125
satas in reality have 120mb/sec so the theoretical output should be more.

I would expect to have between 40-50mb/sec for each sata disk

Can somebody confirm that he can reach this speed with a setup with
journals on the satas (with journals on ssd speed should be 100mb per disk)?
or does ceph only give about ¼ of the speed for a disk? (and not the ½
as expected because of journals)

My setup is 3 servers with: 2 x 2.6ghz xeons, 128gb ram 15 satas for
ceph (and ssds for system) 1 x 10gig for external traffic, 1 x 10gig for
osd traffic
with reads I can saturate the network but writes is far away. And I
would expect at least to saturate the 10gig with sequential writes also

In addition to the advice wido is providing (which I wholeheartedly agree with!), you might want to check your controller/disk configuration. If you have journals on the same disks as the data, some times putting the disks into single-disk RAID0 LUNs with writeback cache enabled can help keep journal and data writes from causing seek contention. This only works if you have a controller with cache and a battery though.


Thank you
