Note that librados can access data from all nodes in the cluster while iSCSI will funnel the data through whatever node or proxy is hosting the iSCSI target. What does your overall network and storage layout look like? Number of systems, number and type of disks, how are Ceph journals set up, etc?

My fio job file looks like this (change 'randread' to 'randwrite' for the write test and modify the filename device to switch between the ramdisk and rbd). [default] rw=randread size=10g bs=1m ioengine=libaio direct=1 numjobs=1 filename=/dev/sdb runtime=600 write_bw_log=iscsiread iodepth=256 iodepth_batch=256 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
