I did new benchmarks on 3 clusters. Each cluster has 3 nodes strictly identical. Each node has 10 OSDs. Journals are on the disk. bench5 : Ubuntu 14.04 / Ceph Infernalis bench6 : Ubuntu 14.04 / Ceph Jewel bench7 : Ubuntu 16.04 / Ceph jewel this is the average of 2 runs of "ceph tell osd.* bench" on each cluster (2 x 30 OSDs) bench5 / 14.04 / Infernalis / kernel 3.13 : 54.35 MB/s bench6 / 14.04 / Jewel / kernel 3.13 : 86.47 MB/s bench5 / 14.04 / Infernalis / kernel 4.2 : 63.38 MB/s bench6 / 14.04 / Jewel / kernel 4.2 : 107.75 MB/s bench7 / 16.04 / Jewel / kernel 4.2 : 101.54 MB/s bench5 / 14.04 / Infernalis / kernel 4.4 : 53.61 MB/s bench6 / 14.04 / Jewel / kernel 4.4 : 65.82 MB/s bench7 / 16.04 / Jewel / kernel 4.4 : 61.57 MB/s If needed, I have the raw output of "ceph tell osd.* bench" > What I find curious is that no-one else on the list has apparently run > into this. Any Ubuntu xenial users out there, or perhaps folks on > trusty who choose to install linux-image-generic-lts-xenial? Anyone to try on their side if they have the same behaviour ?
