在Linux系统中将SSD当块设备缓存的方法

发布时间:1970-01-01 作者:佚名 来源:xiaoli110的BLOG
这篇文章主要介绍了在Linux系统中将SSD当块设备缓存的方法,主要是将SSD作为内存和HDD中间的过度缓存设备,需要的朋友可以参考下

原理

写操作先缓存到ssd硬盘上,然后通过一定策略写到普通硬盘上;

读操作热点数据可以缓存到ssd硬盘上,提高读取数据的速度。

软件 ssd 缓存开源软件主要有bcache ,flashcache

bcache 需要编译最新的内核,要求比较高,配置比较复杂,目前主要用于测试环境;

flashcache 是facebook内部使用的ssd cache软件,开源出来供大家使用,目前有人编译出rhel6的rpm包,在centos6上可以直接安装使用。

本次初步测试了flashcache

测试环境

sdc为 ssd 硬盘 160G*4 raid 10 用fio测试 4k 写iops为 5433

sdb为 普通sas硬盘 146G*2 raid 1 用fio测试 4k 写iops为 447

初步简单测试结果:

4k 随机写可以达到 5014

4k随机读可以达到45874

flashcache 安装配置方法

安装

复制代码代码如下:rpm --import http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org

rpm -Uvh http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm

yum install flashcache-utils kmod-flashcache

配置:

用sdc 做sdb的缓存

复制代码代码如下:

flashcache_create -p back cachedev /dev/sdc /dev/sdb

cachedev cachedev, ssd_devname /dev/sdc, disk_devname /dev/sdb cache mode WRITE_BACK

block_size 8, md_block_size 8, cache_size 0

Flashcache metadata will use 1192MB of your 24016MB main memory

可以用3种方式:

复制代码代码如下:

Writethrough - safest, all writes are cached to ssd but also written to disk

immediately. If your ssd has slower write performance than your disk (likely

for early generation SSDs purchased in 2008-2010), this may limit your system

write performance. All disk reads are cached (tunable).

数据同时写到ssd和普通硬盘

复制代码代码如下:

Writearound - again, very safe, writes are not written to ssd but directly to

disk. Disk blocks will only be cached after they are read. All disk reads

are cached (tunable).

数据同时绕过ssd,直接写到普通硬盘

复制代码代码如下:Writeback - fastest but less safe. Writes only go to the ssd initially, and

based on various policies are written to disk later. All disk reads are

cached (tunable).

数据先写到ssd,随后写到普通硬盘

复制代码代码如下:fdisk -l /dev/mapper/cachedev 可以看到一个设备

Disk /dev/mapper/cachedev: 146.8 GB, 146778685440 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17844 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x0002da0a

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

使用:

可以当一个块设备来使用,划分vg lv

复制代码代码如下:

pvcreate /dev/mapper/cachedev

Physical volume "/dev/mapper/cachedev" successfully created

vgcreate ssdcachetest /dev/mapper/cachedev

Volume group "ssdcachetest" successfully created

lvcreate -L 100G -n ssdcache_test_lv1 ssdcachetest

Logical volume "ssdcache_test_lv1" created

删除

复制代码代码如下:dmsetup remove cachedev

flashcache_destroy /dev/sdc
