Hello guys,

We are currently testing Ceph Jewel with object-map feature enabled:

rbd image 'disk-22920':
        size 102400 MB in 25600 objects
        order 22 (4096 kB objects)
        block_name_prefix: rbd_data.7cfa2238e1f29
        format: 2
        features: layering, exclusive-lock, object-map, fast-diff, deep-flatten
        flags:

We use this RBD as disk for a kvm virtual machine with virtio-scsi and discard=unmap. We noticed the following paremeters in /sys/block:

# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/discard_*
4096
1073741824
0 <- discard_zeroes_data

While trying to do a mkfs.ext4 on the disk in VM we noticed a low performance with using discard.

mkfs.ext4 -E nodiscard /dev/sda1 - tooks 5 seconds to complete
mkfs.ext4 -E discard /dev/sda1 - tooks around 3 monutes

When disabling the object-map the mkfs with discard tooks just 5 seconds.

Do you have any idea what might cause this issue?

Kernel: 4.2.0-35-generic #40~14.04.1-Ubuntu
Ceph: 10.2.0
Libvirt: 1.3.1
QEMU: 2.5.0

Thanks!

Best regards,
Jonas
