Interesting! I just did some testing too on our demo cluster. Ceph with
6 osd's over three nodes, size 2.

root at node04:~# pveversion 
pve-manager/6.2-6/ee1d7754 (running kernel: 5.4.41-1-pve)
root at node04:~# ceph -v
ceph version 14.2.9 (bed944f8c45b9c98485e99b70e11bbcec6f6659a) nautilus
(stable)

rbd create fio_test --size 10G -p Ceph
rbd create map_test --size 10G -p Ceph
rbd map Ceph/map_test

When just using a write test (rw=randwrite) krbd wins, big.
rbd:
  WRITE: bw=37.9MiB/s (39.8MB/s), 37.9MiB/s-37.9MiB/s (39.8MB/s-39.8MB/s), io=10.0GiB (10.7GB), run=269904-269904msec
krbd:
  WRITE: bw=207MiB/s (217MB/s), 207MiB/s-207MiB/s (217MB/s-217MB/s), io=10.0GiB (10.7GB), run=49582-49582msec

However, using rw=randrw (rwmixread=75), things change a lot:
rbd:
  READ: bw=49.0MiB/s (52.4MB/s), 49.0MiB/s-49.0MiB/s (52.4MB/s-52.4MB/s), io=7678MiB (8051MB), run=153607-153607msec
  WRITE: bw=16.7MiB/s (17.5MB/s), 16.7MiB/s-16.7MiB/s (17.5MB/s-17.5MB/s), io=2562MiB (2687MB), run=153607-153607msec

krbd:
  READ: bw=5511KiB/s (5643kB/s), 5511KiB/s-5511KiB/s (5643kB/s-5643kB/s), io=7680MiB (8053MB), run=1426930-1426930msec
  WRITE: bw=1837KiB/s (1881kB/s), 1837KiB/s-1837KiB/s (1881kB/s-1881kB/s), io=2560MiB (2685MB), run=1426930-1426930msec



Maybe I'm interpreting or testing stuff wrong, but it looks like simply writing
to krbd is much faster, but actually trying to use that data seems slower. Let
me know what you guys think.


Attachments are being stripped, IIRC, so here's the config and the full output
of the tests:
