Subject: Re: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox{, -backup} v4 00/12] parallelize chunk reads in verification
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 11:46:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5a731352-1f77-4b15-9a22-7064b70ce519@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113093118.195229-1-n.frey@proxmox.com>
Gave this another spin, looks good to me apart from the commit tag ordering.
Some additional ballpark benchmark figures from my testing:
Used for tests:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && time proxmox-backup-manager verify
<datastore> --read-threads 1 --verify-threads 4 --ignore-verified false
S3 store backed by Ceph RGW (6365 chunks with total 10.907 GiB, 42 index
files)
-------------------------------
#threads | #threads | runtime
-------------------------------
read: 1 | verify: 4 | 168s
read: 1 | verify: 8 | 166s
read: 2 | verify: 4 | 89s
read: 4 | verify: 4 | 50s
read: 8 | verify: 4 | 32s
read: 16 | verify: 4 | 26s
read: 32 | verify: 4 | 25s
read: 8 | verify: 8 | 30s
read: 16 | verify: 8 | 23s
read: 32 | verify: 8 | 23s
read: 8 | verify: 16 | 30s
read: 16 | verify: 16 | 23s
read: 16 | verify: 32 | 23s
read: 32 | verify: 32 | 23s
so above 8 verify threads CPU bound, below 16 read threads IO bound.
Regular datastore on NVME SSD (6012 chunks with total 8.059 GiB, 37
index files)
-------------------------------
#threads | #threads | runtime
-------------------------------
read: 1 | verify: 4 | 11s
read: 1 | verify: 8 | 9s
read: 2 | verify: 4 | 9s
read: 4 | verify: 4 | 8s
read: 8 | verify: 4 | 8s
read: 16 | verify: 4 | 8s
read: 32 | verify: 4 | 9s
read: 8 | verify: 8 | 6s
read: 16 | verify: 8 | 6s
read: 32 | verify: 8 | 6s
read: 8 | verify: 16 | 5s
read: 16 | verify: 16 | 6s
read: 16 | verify: 32 | 6s
read: 32 | verify: 32 | 6s
so mostly CPU bound.
