Fwd: glusterfs write problem

["nicolas prochazka" <prochazka.nicolas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 I'm working with file of 10 Go size.
 When I read file all is ok and seems to be worked fine with glusterfs
 If I read and write one file in the same time, all is bad :
  - gluster client and server takes a lot of resources ( 30 %- 60 % of cpu)
  - write is very very slowly and does not work  , read also seems to
 be cycling

 I'm trying with two configuration

 Computer 1 : client
 Computer 2 : server

 computer1 ---> Read big file and write in local   <---> computer2   :
works fine
 computer1 ---> Read and Write big file  <---> computer2  : not work
 computer2 become client also so i  mount gluster in local :  Read and
 Write big file : not work. (gluterfs and glusterfsd take a lot of
 ressource)

 I'm trying differents client / server configuration without success

 Any idea ?
 Regards,
 Nicolas Prochazka.
