If testing with fio and librbd, you may also find that increasing the thresholds for RBD readahead will help significantly. Specifically, set "rbd readahead disable after bytes" to 0 so rbd readahead stays enabled. In most cases with buffered reads on a real client volume, rbd readahead isn't necessary, but with fio and the librbd engine this can make a big difference, especially with newstore.

Could you share the fio command and your read_ahead_kb setting for the
OSD devices ?  "performance is better" is a little too general.  I
understand that we usually mean higher IOPS or higher aggregate
throughput when we say performance is better.  However, application
random read performance "generally" implies an interest in lower latency
- which of course is much more involved from a testing perspective.

    Hi, I did a fio testing on my ceph cluster, and found ceph random
    read performance is better than sequential read. Is it true in your
    stand?

    Thanks.
