It is compsed of 4 machines, each machine exports 1 sata disk (maxtor maxline III),
and theses machines are connected 1 Gbps ethernel drive.
Peformance :
I am getting about 40% decrease in performance when i simply read a file.
1. Would switching to infiniband make it faster ?
2. What is GNBD IO model ?
2.1 Does it use async io ?
multithreaded IO ?
sync IO ?
2.2 When a GNBD servs a node , does it know what is amount of data it needs
to fetch right from the start ?
Meaning , if a node asks for 1MB buffer, would GNBD read 1 MB buffer
or several small chunks ?
Thanks
