Hi all,
we use hardware Raid controllers with BBU and 2.5" SAS3 drives in RAID 10. On
top we use LVM
fat provisioning. DRBD is 8.4.
1) HWR10 => LVM => XFS
2) HWR10 => LVM => DRBD "C" => QEMU/Virtio => XFS
DRBD settings:
disk-flushes = no
md-flushes = no
Virtio settings:
cache = none
Performing benchmarks with fio (direct=1, sync=1, bs=1k,2k,4k,...,128k) leads
to suspicious.
While 1) leads to expected results such as 200-400 IOPS on random writes
(expected value) 2)
leads to about 4 times better results.
(I did the same benchmarks some years ago on the same hardware but with an
older software stack
and remember that DRBD protocol "C" lead to a performance decrease of about
factor 2. Factor 2
seems to be a good value for synchronous replication.)
What's going wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
