Hi,
Can you suggest me what is a good cephfs design? I've never used it, only rgw and rbd
we have, but want to give a try. Howvere in the mail list I saw a huge amount of issues
with cephfs so would like to go with some let's say bulletproof best practices.
Like separate the mds from mon and mgr?
Need a lot of memory?
Should be on ssd or nvme?
How many cpu/disk ...
Very appreciate it.

Hi,
first of all, check the workload you like to have on the filesystem if
you plan to migrate an old one do some proper performance-testing of
the old storage.
the io500 can give some ideas https://www.vi4io.org/io500/start but it
depends on the use-case of the filesystem

Couple of team want to use cephfs with k8s so the main use case would be k8s users.

hey Istvan,
The Hardware Recommendations
<https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/start/hardware-recommendations/> page
actually has a ton of info on the questions you are asking, did you go
though that one yet?
Without massive overkill, I don't think there's a "bulletproof" design,
as
the actual I/O use cases vary wildly depending on the application.
e.g. you mentioned that "main use case would be k8s users", are there 2000
users that need 500 IOPS each at 100MB/s, OR 5 users that touch the storage
every few minutes and store 10MB of data. These are polar opposites with
orders of magnitude different requirements.

Something to remember about the list is that people are far more likely to post when they
have a problem than when things are running fine, so it’s easy to mistake that for
instabiliity. For every issue posted, there are a bunch of clusters humming right along.

Like Peter wrote, that’s very dependent on the scale and nature of your workload.

New subject: In theory - would 'cephfs root' out-perform 'rbd root'?
On any given a properly sized ceph setup, for other than database end
use) theoretically shouldn't a ceph-fs root out-perform any fs atop a
rados block device root?
Seems to me like it ought to: moving only the 'interesting' bits of
files over the so-called 'public' network should take fewer, smaller
packets than the overhead associated with whole blocks that hold some
fraction of the 'interesting' bits?
Does it work that way in practice?
6:40 p.m.
Hi Peter,
Yeah, went through all, also set the mds_memory_limit.
Collocated with mgr/mon so created 3 mds.
Have enough cpu, it is on ssd. So yeah, even went inside all the cephfs menu points to
take the information.

New subject: [Suspicious newsletter] In theory - would 'cephfs root' out-perform 'rbd root'?
Not really clear for me to be ho mnest how many cephfs is needed? Would it worth to create
multiple or what is the use case to create multiple? In the examples and how people using
it seems like only 1 cephfs + 1 metadata pool on nvme, not really multiple cephfs.
Doc just relates that if you want multiple cephfs what to do but not too much information
about use case.

I doubt it. The problem is that the CephFS MDS must perform
distributed metadata transactions with ordering and locking.
Whereas a filesystem on rbd runs locally and doesn't have to worry
about other computers writing to the same block device.
Our bottleneck in production is usually the MDS CPU load.

Perhaps if an 'exclusive write mount' option existed, the mds could
delegate most of what it does to the client.
Moving 4K-at-least blocks around a network, even with 'jumbo frames' on
local segments, has got to take more processing and network bandwidth
than the 'known interesting only' parts of files.

You want to use as less features as possible: no snapshotting, no multi
MDS, no multi cephfs. Standby-replay is fine though.
All these features are nice, and have seen a lot of improvements, but
those are also the parts that have become "stable" most recently.
A lot of "issues" that are discussed on the list with regards to CephFS
are related to above features one way or another.
There *used* to be a part in the docs that more or less stated the
above. It might still be there, but I can't find it.
YMMV.

You've read many practical answers to your question so far. My
contribution is: cephfs has to 'win' over the long term because moving
'known interesting' data over a network will always take less time than
having a client 'file system' move whole storage blocks over the fiber
or wire then have to sort out the bits the application actually wants.
The only way that doesn't happen is if the 'wires' are dramatically
faster than the hosts and lightly loaded -- not what's expected.
So, long term: cephfs has the logical ability to out-perform other
block-backed (rbd/iscsi) choices. But not today. The thing that makes
it 'seem slow' now is dealing with the multi-user file/record level
contention block devices don't have to face. Over time I expect
directory trees might be shared with a 'one user' flag that might allow
the client to interact with the mons/osds directly and require very
little mds traffic. That will win over rbd+fs designs because of 'more
of what the user wants per network packet' issues.
So, eventually (Year? Years? Decades?) I think RadosGW and cephfs
will bear most of the ceph traffic. But for today -- if a host is the
sole user of a directory tree -- rbd + xfs (ymmv)
