Hi, In a performance test with Oracle (using files with direct I/O) it looks like GFS is a factor 2 (!) slower than ext3. Can this be true or should we be able to improve this by tuning etc.? Tests are now done on a single node (of course the purpose is to eventually use it in a real cluster using RHCS) and at this moment we use GFS with lock_nolock. Both GFS and ext3 are used with iSCSI devices (on the same SAN) and everything is done with RHEL4 and the latest updates.
