I *think* by default only writes that are smaller than the min_alloc_size the OSD was created with will be staged in the WAL. In recent releases that defaults to 4KB. > 3. > How much SSD do I need for block.wal relative to HDD(if I have 100TB)? cf. https://lists.ceph.io/hyperkitty/list/ceph-users@ceph.io/thread/SBNRW5R22IE3OVOR57DRL2ULFTWXLAGQ/ The WAL size is I believe constant, 1GB. Be careful that you don’t share your SSD devices with too many HDDs. In the Filestore days conventional wisdom was to not share a SAS/SATA SSD across more than 4-5 HDD OSDs; an NVMe SSD perhaps as high as 10. If you exceed this ratio you may end up slower than with pure HDD OSDs. Naturally the best solution is to not use HDDs at all ;) _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
