Disks are utilized roughly between 70 and 80 percent.
Not sure why
would operations slow down when disks are getting more utilization.
If that would be the case, I'd expect Ceph to issue a warning.
It is warning you, that's why you see slow requests. ;-) But just to
be clear, by utilization I mean more than just the filling level of
the OSD, have you watched iostat (or something similar) for your disks
during usual and high load? Heavy metadata operation on rocksDB
increases the load on the main device. I'm not sure if you mentioned
it before, do you have stand-alone OSDs or with faster db devices? I
believe you only mentioned cephfs_metadata on SSD.
Have I understood correctly that the expectation is
that if I used
larger drives I wouldn't be seeing these warnings?
I can understand that adding more disks would create better
parallelisation, that's why I'm asking about larger drives.
I don't think larger drives would improve that, probably even the
opposite, depending on the drives, of course. More drives should
scale, yes, but there's more to it.
