I'm working with three nodes: 1, 2 and 3. Looks like the mount by 3 makes a big difference. When the filesystem is mounted by 1 and 2 only, my test runs much faster. Filesystem mounted by 3 alone is also fast. But 3 doesn't seem to cooperate with anyone else with reasonable performance. If I mount the filesystem on all three nodes and run the test on 1, the network traffic of 2 and 3 is rather unbalanced: tcpdump receives 19566 packets on 2 and 29181 on 3. It's all 21064/tcp traffic, I can provide detailed data if that seems useful. > In the end, though, I think you'll get the best performance by using > flocks under the new cluster infrastructure and kernel. Can you point me to the relevant documentation and version numbers for upgrading to the new cluster infrastructure? Unfortunately it's not prepackaged, which means much more maintenance work, but I'm willing to test if it helps enough to justify that. -- Regards, Feri. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
