Description Prasanth M V 2022-01-06 12:19:55 UTC
Describe the issue:

In the "Administration Guide, Chapter 9.6" Of RHCS4 document it is mentioned that In BlueStore, the raw partition is allocated and managed in chunks of bluestore_min_alloc_size. By default, bluestore_min_alloc_size is 64 KB for HDDs, and 16 KB for SSDs. 

But from RHCS 4.1 the default value of bluestore_min_alloc_size for solid state devices(SSDs) has been changed from 16KB to 4KB. The current value of bluestore_min_alloc_size_ssd is 4 KB.

The same has been included in the release note of RHCS 4.1 but not in the  "Administration Guide, Chapter 9.6" of RHCS4 document.

In RHCS 4.1 and Newer:
#ceph daemon osd.0 config show | grep bluestore_min_alloc_size_
    "bluestore_min_alloc_size_hdd": "65536",
    "bluestore_min_alloc_size_ssd": "4096",



Suggestions for improvement:
Requesting to make the change in the RHCS4 document about the statement of bluestore_min_alloc_size for solid state devices(SSDs) to 4KB in the "Administration Guide, Chapter 9.6" as well.

  Currently in the document:
  In BlueStore, the raw partition is allocated and managed in chunks of 
  bluestore_min_alloc_size. By default, bluestore_min_alloc_size is 64 KB for 
  HDDs, and 16 KB for SSDs.

  Expected change in the document:
  In BlueStore, the raw partition is allocated and managed in chunks of 
  bluestore_min_alloc_size. By default, bluestore_min_alloc_size is 64 KB for 
  HDDs, and 4 KB for SSDs.
