Hi all, I am new to glusterfs. During the last week I did some testing and found that glusterfs took quite a long time to deal with small files. My configuration: 3 server, 1 clien linked by a 100Mbps switch Centos 5 Glusterfs 1.2.3 Fuse 2.6.5 The server and client vol files are the same as in the wiki The speed of copying 5kb files is: ~2000kbit/s The speed of copying 50kb files is: ~10000kbit/s The speed of copying 300kb files is: ~40000kbit/s The speed of copying 600kb files is: ~70000kbit/s The speed of copying 1MB files is: ~85000kbit/s The above values are average speed resulted from copying 4000 files of each size. I also tested with different sizes of the aggregate value of write-behind and I saw no improvement when dealing with small files. Can anyone help me on this? Thank you very much Best regards, Trung
