gfs performance

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I haven't tried gfs yet, but did you simply test simultaneous access to 
the same local disk (without gfs) by 2 separate processes: generally 
peformance drops because of disk seek time (the reason is mechanical)
Disks always have much lower performance when shared between 2 processes 
on the same machine or 2 processes on separate machines (it is the same 
as having a dual cpu)

This is just an idea... not very sure if this is your problem.
