We are running NVMe Intel P3700's as journals for about 8 months now.1x P3700 per 6x OSD. So far they have been reliable. We are using S3700, S3710 and P3700 as journals and there is _currently_ no real benefit of the P3700 over the SATA units as journals for Ceph. Regards, Andrew On

I'm wondering if anyone is using NVME SSDs for journals? Intel 750 series 400GB NVME SSD offers good performance and price in comparison to let say Intel S3700 400GB. http://ark.intel.com/compare/71915,86740 My concern would be MTBF / TBW which is only 1.2M hours and 70GB per day for 5yrs

There is at least one benefit, you can go more dense. In our testing of real workloads, you can get a 12:1 OSD to Journal drive ratio (or even higher) using the P3700. This assumes you are willing to accept the impact of losing 12 OSDs when a journal croaks. On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 8:33 AM, Andrew

Further clarification, 12:1 with SATA spinners as the OSD data drives. On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 9:11 AM, David Burley da...@slashdotmedia.com wrote: There is at least one benefit, you can go more dense. In our testing of real workloads, you can get a 12:1 OSD to Journal drive ratio (or even
