Hi All I'm having an issue with slow writes over NFS (v3) when cephfs is mounted with the kernel driver. Writing a single 4K file from the NFS client is taking 3 - 4 seconds, however a 4K write (with sync) into the same folder on the server is fast as you would expect. When mounted with ceph-fuse, I don't get this issue on the NFS client.
Test environment is a small cluster with a single MON and single MDS, all running 10.2.1, CephFS metadata is an ssd pool, data is on spinners. The NFS server is CentOS 7, I've tested with the current shipped kernel (3.10), ELrepo 4.4 and ELrepo 4.6. More info: With the kernel driver, I mount the filesystem with "-o name=admin,secret" I've exported a folder with the following options: *(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay,no_subtree_check,fsid=1244,sec=1) I then mount the folder on a CentOS 6 client with the following options (all default): rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.3.231,mountvers=3,mountport=597,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none A small 4k write is taking 3 - 4 secs: # time dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=4k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 4096 bytes (4.1 kB) copied, 3.59678 s, 1.1 kB/s real 0m3.624s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s But a sync write on the sever directly into the same folder is fast (this is with the kernel driver): # time dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile2 bs=4k count=1 conv=fdatasync 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 4096 bytes (4.1 kB) copied, 0.0121925 s, 336 kB/s real 0m0.015s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.002s If I mount cephfs with Fuse instead of the kernel, the NFS client write is fast: dd if=/dev/zero of=fuse01 bs=4k count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 4096 bytes (4.1 kB) copied, 0.026078 s, 157 kB/s Does anyone know what's going on here? Thanks
