+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1282076 +++ Description of problem: Make cache mode the default for tiering Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: test mode is default Expected results: cache mode is default Additional info: test mode is for internal QE testing and should not be used by customers. Test mode forces all unused data to be destaged from the hot tier when no IO is received, rendering the SSD unused / wasted. If the demote cycle time is made large as a workaround, data will stay on the hot tier but will not react to changing conditions, which means unused data may fill the hot tier resource. A long cycle times also means the system will stay static even when close to full, which will put the system into a degraded mode. The cache mode is supposed to keep data on the hot tier but also demote data quickly when the hot tier is close to full. The cycle time can be set to a desired reaction time to swap out lesser used data and bring in more frequently accessed data without flushing the entire SSD. --- Additional comment from Vijay Bellur on 2015-11-14 14:57:34 EST --- REVIEW: http://review.gluster.org/12581 (cluster/tier make cache mode default for tiered volumes) posted (#1) for review on master by Dan Lambright (dlambrig) --- Additional comment from Vijay Bellur on 2015-11-17 07:18:33 EST --- COMMIT: http://review.gluster.org/12581 committed in master by Dan Lambright (dlambrig) ------ commit dcd1ff344d242f64f3a5c579df97a050736e6633 Author: Dan Lambright <dlambrig> Date: Sat Nov 14 14:35:26 2015 -0500 cluster/tier make cache mode default for tiered volumes The default mode for tiered volumes must be cache.
