[PVE-User] Risks for using writeback on Ceph RBD

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Like all writeback, you'll lost datas in memory before the fsync of the filesystem, but not corruption of the filesystem. (writeback = rbd_cache=true)

note that rbd writeback help only for sequential of small writes (aggregate in 1big transaction to send to ceph).

Also, read latency is bigger when writeback is enable.

Objet: [PVE-User] Risks for using writeback on Ceph RBD

Hi, 

We've noticed some performance wins on using writeback for Ceph RBD 
devices, but I'm wondering how we should project risks on using 
writeback. Writeback isn't very unsafe, but what are the risks in case 
of powerloss of a host? 

Thanks,
