Specifying the I/O properties of a system
The I/O properties of a system can be specified as a YAML string, by using the option --io-properties, or as a YAML file with the option --io-properties-file.
The expected format starts with a map of sections at the top level.
Currently only disks is supported.
The disks section
Inside the disks section, the user can specify a list of mount points.
For each mount point, 4 properties have to be specified (none are optional):
read_iops: read IOPS speed of the deviceread_bandwidth: read bandwidth speed of the devicewrite_iops: write IOPS speed of the devicewrite_bandwidth: write bandwidth speed of the device
Additionally the following optional properties can be added:
read_saturation_length: read buffer length to saturate the device throughputwrite_saturation_length: write buffer length to saturate the device throughput
Those quantities can be specified in raw form, or followed with a suffix (k, M, G, or T).
Example:
disks:
- mountpoint: /var/lib/some_seastar_app
read_iops: 95000
read_bandwidth: 545M
write_iops: 85000
write_bandwidth: 510M
write_saturation_length: 64k
