Subject: Re: [ceph-users] Analysing ceph performance with SSD journal, 10gbe 
NIC and 2 replicas -Hammer release

 

Thanks for your valuable input.
We were using these SSD in our NAS box(synology)  and it was giving 13k iops 
for our fileserver in raid1.We had a few spare disks which we added to our ceph 
nodes hoping that it will give good performance same as that of NAS box.(i am 
not comparing NAS with ceph ,just the reason why we decided to use these SSD)

We dont have S3520 or S3610 at the moment but can order one of these to see how 
it performs in ceph .We have 4xS3500  80Gb handy.
If i create a 2 node cluster with 2xS3500 each and with replica of 2,do you 
think it can deliver 24MB/s of 4k writes .
We bought S3500 because last time when we tried ceph, people were suggesting 
this model :) :) 

Thanks alot for your help

 

Was is your application/use case for Ceph? 24MB/s of 4k writes will be quite a 
hard number to hit at lower queue depths. I saw your benchmark in your other 
post showing you were testing at a queue depth of 32, is this representative of 
your real life workload?

i really need some help here :(

replaced all 7.2 rpm SAS disks with new Samsung 840 evo 512Gb SSD with no 
seperate journal Disk .Now both OSD nodes are with 2 ssd disks  with a replica 
of 2 . 
Total number of OSD process in the cluster is 4.with all SSD.


These SSDs are not designed for the kind of usage you are putting them through. 
The Evo and even the Pro line from Samsung can't write both fast and securely 
(ie : you can write fast and lose data if you get a power outage or you can 
write slow and keep your data, Ceph always makes sure your data is recoverable 
before completing a write : it is slow with these SSDs).

Christian already warned you about endurance and reliability, you just 
discovered the third problem : speed.
