Hi Vitaliy,

 

Similar to Stefan, we have a bunch of Micron 5200's (3.84TB ECO SATA version) 
in a Ceph cluster (Nautilus) and performance seems less than optimal.  I have 
followed all instructions on your site (thank you for your wonderful article 
btw!!), but I haven't seen much change.

 

The only thing I could think of is that "maybe" disabling the write cache only 
takes place upon a reboot or power cycle?  Is that necessary?  Or is it a 
"live" change?

 

I have tested with the cache disabled as well as enabled on all drives.  We're 
using fio running in a QEMU/KVM VM in an OpenStack cluster, so not "raw" access 
to the Micron 5200's.  OSD (Bluestore) nodes run CentOS 7 using a 4.18.x 
kernel.  Testing doesn't show any, or much, difference, enough that the 
variations could be considered "noise" in the results.  Certainly no change 
that anyone could tell.

 

Thought I'd check to see if you, or anyone else, might have any suggestions 
specific to the Micron 5200.

 

We have some Micron 5300's inbound, but probably won't have them here for 
another few weeks due to Micron's manufacturing delays, so will be able to test 
these raw drives soon.  I will report back after, but if you know anything 
about these, I'm all ears. :)

 

Thank you!

 

Eric

Thank you all,

 

performance is indeed better now. Can now go back to sleep ;)

        ...disable signatures and rbd cache. I didn't mention it in the email 
to not repeat myself. But I have it in the article :-)
