Well, if you are cpu limited, I don't think you can use all 8*35000iops by node.
So, maybe a benchmark can tell us if the difference is really big.

Using tmpfs and ups can be ok, but if you have a kernel panic or hardware 
problem, you'll lost your journal.

But who cares? it's also on the 2nd node. or even on the 3rd if you have replicas 3.

I haven't played a whole lot with SSD only OSDs yet (other than noting
last summer that iop performance wasn't as high as I wanted it). Is a
second partition on the SSD for the journal not an option for you?

I don't think we recommend tmpfs at all for anything other than playing
around. :)

I discussed this with somebody frmo inktank. Had to search the
mailinglist. It might be OK if you're working with enough replicas and
UPS.

I see no other option while working with SSDs - the only Option would be
to be able to deaktivate the journal at all. But ceph does not support
this.

Hi,

can someone from inktank comment this? Might be using /dev/ram0 with an
fs on it be better than tmpfs as we can use dio?

Greets,

It would make sense in your infra, but yes they are really expensive.

We need something like tmpfs - running in local memory but support
dio.
