Not much suggestion from my side (I never ran Ceph on complete HDDs), other than probably running more OSDs/HDDs. More OSDs should help specially if you can spread these on many nodes. I would say try with fio-rbd (librbd) first (rbd_cache = false) as it may give you some boost over kernel rbd since the TCP_NODELAY patch is probably not in yet with krbd. But, I doubt how significant it is in the HDD world.

I intend use Ceph RBD as shared storage for Oracle Database RAC. My Ceph deployment has 3 nodes with 8 1TB 15k SAS per node, I do not have SSD at the moment, so I design every SAS will be Journal and OSD. Can you suggest me a way to get highest performance for Oracle Cluster with this deployment?
