Hi Zhenshi, I did try with bigger block size. Interestingly, the one whose 4KB osd bench was lower performed slightly better in 4MB osd bench. Let me try some other bigger block sizes, e.g. 16K, 64K, 128K, 1M etc, to see if there is any pattern. Moreover, I did compare two SSDs, they respectively are INTEL SSDSC2KB480G8 and INTEL SSDSC2KB960G8. Performance wise, there is no much difference.

For bluestore, the write operations contain two modes. One is COW, the other is RMW. AFAIK only RMW uses wal in order to prevent data from being interrupted. rainning <tweetypie@qq.com> 于2020年7月15日周三 下午11:04写道： > Hi Zhenshi, thanks very much for the reply. > > Yes I know it is ood that the bluestore is deployed only with a separate > db device but no a WAL device.
