## cached_read_data
|
||||
|
||||
- Type: boolean
|
||||
- Default: false
|
||||
|
||||
Read data through Linux page cache, i.e. use a file descriptor opened without
|
||||
O_DIRECT for data reads. May improve read performance for frequently accessed
|
||||
data if it fits in RAM. Memory in page cache is shared by all processes and
|
||||
not accounted in OSD memory consumption.
|
||||
|
||||
## cached_read_meta
|
||||
|
||||
- Type: boolean
|
||||
- Default: false
|
||||
|
||||
Read metadata through Linux page cache. May be beneficial when checksums
|
||||
are enabled and [inmemory_metadata](#inmemory_metadata) is disabled, because
|
||||
in this case metadata blocks are read from disk to verify checksums on every
|
||||
read request and caching them may reduce this extra read load.
|
||||
|
||||
Absolutely pointless to enable with enabled inmemory_metadata because all
|
||||
metadata is kept in memory anyway, and likely pointless without checksums,
|
||||
because in that case, metadata blocks are read from disk only during journal
|
||||
flushing.
|
||||
|
||||
If the same device is used for data and metadata, enabling [cached_read_data](#cached_read_data)
|
||||
also enables this parameter, given that it isn't turned off explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
## cached_read_journal
|
||||
|
||||
- Type: boolean
|
||||
- Default: false
|
||||
|
||||
Read buffered data from journal through Linux page cache. Does not have sense
|
||||
without disabling [inmemory_journal](#inmemory_journal), which, again, is
|
||||
enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
If the same device is used for metadata and journal, enabling [cached_read_meta](#cached_read_meta)
|
||||
also enables this parameter, given that it isn't turned off explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
## journal_sector_buffer_count
|
||||
|
||||
- Type: integer
