Dear Gluster Hackers, I have configured a Gluster cluster with 2 nodes mirroring each other (with afr), and I have experienced very good performance with the fuse client under Linux. However, if I export this filesystem with Samba (I have tryed exporting from a separate gateway node, and also mounting the filesystem on the cluster nodes and exporting from there), I see very bad write performance: 5Mbytes/s aggregate bandwidth. I doesn't matter if I write with multiple threads, or even writing from multiple client machines at the same time, the aggregate bandwidth never gets more than 5-6M/s. Is this a known issue, or has anyone managed to export glusterfs with samba with good performance? If so, can You give me some hints on optimizing samba? Thanks! And BTW, You have done great work with Gluster. I was using Lustre before, but building and managing a HA cluster with Lustre was a pain.. Gluster's architecture is much simpler and cleaner.
