Massive post! Should be sent to the ceph users mailingslist. Also, I really am aching to enable bcache to see those write improvements! PS. Mind telling us how you disabled the 4mb feature? DS. It didn't take too long for us to realise that bcache comes from a time when SSDs were fast at...

Other than a ceph cache tier I havent really seen any improvement to speeds. SO I will def try out bcache!! Thanks so much for this!

A comparison of without bcache to with: No bcache, w/100GB NVMe Journal: With 200GB bcache, 20GB NVMe Journal: Higher block size on the VM drives will net much higher sequential write performance (I was seeing numbers over 400MB/s with 16K sectors).

FYI, I got the bcache working. Significant improvements in overall cluster write performance (more than double in my VM's CrystalDiskMark bechmarks). Reads were pretty much unaffected. And the load on the nodes is minimal still. The highest CPU usage I've seen is just over 20% on all nodes with...

@David Herselman , just curious if you see a major performance increase using bcache versus not. I'm in the process right now of building a PoC for our company, just a small cluster of 3 nodes but in production will be 5. I'm seeing 'slow requests blocked' errors every now and then when running...

...ceph cluster). And 16GB for the ceph osd node are much to less. I've not understand how much nodes/OSDs do you have in your PoC. About you bcache question: I don't have experiences with bcache, but I would use ceph as is it. Ceph is completly different to normal raid-storage so every...

...that Filestore gives better overall performance (even with 100GB NVMe journal on both config types). I've read a few articles stating that bcache can improve performance, namely fix the 'slow requests' errors that can occasionally pop up. I currently have the PVE/Ceph cluster as a storage...

Hallo Zaqen, It's very strange. Are you sure that definition of hosts and hosts mappings in MSA are correct? Maybe they are read only mappings or the volume's setting at MSA does not allow to write on it down? I would suspect configuration of the SAN switches - zoning?. I think that is not the...

Several years ago, I tried bcache and flashcache and both worked fine in write-back and write-through mode. Performance increase was huge. A side effect was, that after each reboot, the cache needs to be synced and the performance was very, very bad until it finished. Besides that, it worked -...

...different that breaks the mould. (ie, in my case the 'mould' is - stock proxmox on machines with HW raid; or debian-SW-raid / sometimes with 'bcache' layer added for boosted performance - then adding proxmox-to-debian after-the-fact -- and this 'just works' so smoothly, that -- the various...

@Jarek, bcache is a totally different hammer and is not really known to improve ceph performance or simplify the already complex setup. It is also to note that data safety can not be guaranteed with bcache. To spare headache and lessen complexity, I advise against the use of bcache. It is still...

If you like the 'filestore design with journal' performance, you need to setup bcache as mentioned somewhere on the forum. Moving DB + WAL to ssd didn't improve write speed with noticeable factor.

Herewith some of my speed notes and a nice reference: https://dshcherb.github.io/2017/08/12/ceph-bluestore-and-bcache.html Some additional notes: bcache in kernel 4.13 (PVE 5.1) requires a separate cache block device for each underlying block device. This appears to have been different in...

...we'll most probably convert hdd OSDs back to FileStore with SSD journalling, as the current setup is really complicated. The nice thing with bcache is that one can detach and reattach caching block devices, so we'll probably leave the HDDs 'formatted' as bcache block devices, so that we can...
