One trick I've been using in my ceph clusters is hiding a slow write backend behind a fast journal device. The write performance will be of the fast (and small) journal device. This only helps on write, but it can make a huge difference. I've even made some tests showing (within 10%, RBD and S3) that the backend device doesn't matter and the write performance is exactly the same as that of the journal device fronting all the writes. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
