Hi, after running Ceph for a while I see a lot of fragmented files on our OSD filesystems (all running ext4). For example:
itchy ~ # fsck -f /srv/ceph/osd/ceph-5 fsck von util-linux 2.22.2 e2fsck 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) [...] /dev/mapper/vgosd00-ceph--osd00: 461903/418119680 files (33.7% non-contiguous), 478239460/836229120 blocks This is an unusually high value for ext4. The normal expectation is something in the 5% range. I suspect that such a high fragmentation produces lots of unnecessary seeks on the disks. Has anyone an idea what to do to make Ceph fragment an OSD filesystem less? TIA Christian -- Dipl.-Inf.
