Hi, I'm using GIG NIC for a computing system. Right now its only one NIC on each server/client - but it's definitely better than NFS. BTW: be careful if using "adaptive load balancing". I got client disconnetion in random situations. The setup was up/downdelay=200, but the switches has a forward delay of 15ms (Cisco from 3750 and up). The problem stopped when using only one NIC, and I believe the glusterfs client was quicker than the NIC and thought the server was down while the server just told the client to use another NIC for connection. Now I'm going to use a dedicated switch - cisco 3750 - jumbo frames and trunking on it. That should give any client/server only one connection point. I'm going to do many tests before deciding on setup, and I'm glad to share it with you all. I will start testing the coming week.
