Hi Mehdi, great work! A few questions (for you, Mark, and anyone else watching this thread) regarding the content of that wiki page: For the OSD tests, which OSD filesystem are you testing on? Are you using a separate journal device? If yes, what type? For the RADOS benchmarks: # rados bench -p

Hi, On a couple of systems I'm using the Debian packages provided on Ceph.com, but these packages are hosted on a CA based server. In the EU that's rather slow, especially when updating multiple servers and when downloading the debug packages. As I'm lazy I don't want to maintain my own mir
