I changed it from 1024 to 4096 : * rsync status (1 line per file) scrolls much quicker * OSD writes on the dashboard is much lower than reads now (it was much higher before) * metadata pool write rate in the 20-800kBps range now, while metadata reads in the 20-80kBps * data pool reads is in the hundreds of kBps, which still seems very low * destination disk write rate is a bit larger than the data pool read rate (expected for btrfs), but still low * inter-DC network load is now 1-50Mbps I'll monitor the Munin graphs in the long run. I can't find any doc about that mds_log_events_per_segment setting, specially on how to choose a good value. Can you elaborate on "original value multiplied several times" ? I'm just seeing more MDS_TRIM warnings now. Maybe restarting the MDSs just delayed re-emergence of the initial problem. > ________________________________ > From: ceph-users <ceph-users-boun...@lists.ceph.com> on behalf of > Nicolas Huillard <nhuill...@dolomede.fr> > Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 12:01:09 PM > To: ceph-users@lists.ceph.com > Subject: [ceph-users] Huge amount of cephfs metadata writes while > only reading data (rsync from storage, to single disk) > > Hi all, > > I'm experimenting with a new little storage cluster.
