Hi John,
I've finally came around to finish the database client driver for Samba
to talk to Ceph via Python librados and implement some changes that do
improve performance compared to the one from Samuel I used last year:
<https://git.samba.org/?p=slow/samba.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/dbwrap_py>
I'm doing my testing and benchmarking on a very basic Ceph cluster and I
would *love* to run benchmarks against a more beefy cluster and not a
single server partitioned into VMs also lacking decent storage...
By chance, do you have such a thing accessible and would be able to run
a few benchmark? Anyone else interested? :)
It's a bit more involved as it also requires a few more VMs used as SMB
client and clustered Samba...
Cheers!

I haven't done much perf testing myself, as I usually get by with a "few vms
on a laptop" approach. There may be some opportunities to run things in the
ceph sepia lab but I would have to ask around first as I typically only use it
to run teuthology tests on smithi nodes.
Do you have a deadline?
Rather than route this discussion through me, it may make sense for you to
join the `#sepia` channel on ceph's slack instance. (go to
https://ceph.io/en/
community/connect/ and scroll all the way to the bottom for a link to join the
slack instance) and discuss what opportunities / restrictions there are with
the real experts :-)
