[pve-devel] less cores more iops / speed

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Another idea,

do you have tried to put
>>>>  debug lockdep = 0/0

>>>>  debug crush = 0/0

in a ceph.conf on your kvm host ?

Maybe some tracing on kvm process could give us clues to find where the cpu is used ? 

Also another idea, can you try with "auth supported=none" ? maybe they are some overhead with ceph authenfication ?

Ok thanks. 

Seem to use a lot of cpu vs nfs,iscsi ... 

I hope that ceph dev will work on this soon !

No. For three VMs yes. For one and two no. I think librbd / rbd 
implementation in kvm is the bottleneck here.
