Hello all,
I installed OpenStack with Glance + Ceph OSD with replication factor 2 and
now I can see the write operations are extremly slow.
For example, I can see only 0.04 MB/s write speed when I run rados bench
with 512b blocks:
rados bench -p test 60 write --no-cleanup -t 1 -b 512
Maintaining 1 concurrent writes of 512 bytes for up to 60 seconds or 0
objects

My test environment configuration:
Hardware servers with 1Gb network interfaces, 64Gb RAM and 16 CPU cores per
node, HDDs WDC WD5003ABYX-01WERA0.
OpenStack with 1 controller, 1 compute and 2 ceph nodes (ceph on separate
nodes).
CentOS 6.5, kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.
I tested several config options for optimizations, like in
/etc/ceph/ceph.conf:
[default]
...
osd_pool_default_pg_num = 1024
osd_pool_default_pgp_num = 1024
osd_pool_default_flag_hashpspool = true
...
[osd]
osd recovery max active = 1
osd max backfills = 1
filestore max sync interval = 30
filestore min sync interval = 29
filestore flusher = false
filestore queue max ops = 10000
filestore op threads = 16
osd op threads = 16
...
[client]
rbd_cache = true
rbd_cache_writethrough_until_flush = true
and in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf:
[DEFAULT]
volume_tmp_dir=/tmp
but in the result performance was increased only on ~30 % and it not looks
like huge success.
Non-default mount options and TCP optimization increase the speed in about
1%:
[root@node-17 ~]# mount | grep ceph
/dev/sda4 on /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0 type xfs
(rw,noexec,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,user_xattr,data=writeback,barrier=0)
[root@node-17 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
Do we have other ways to significantly improve CEPH storage performance?
Any feedback and comments are welcome!
Thank you!
