Hello all, I'm going to use the Unify feature of GlusterFS to build a storage space that will be used for a mirror server. After playing around for some time, honestly, I worry about its performance. Is unify suitable for a mirror server? The common access pattern is of course reading from a lot of small and big files (like ISO file) concurrently from many users (let say 500 users at a time, on average). Beside that, since I'll also offer rsync service, directory traversing would be done very often. At the moment, I only have one server with one core processor. I use 3 storage bricks in the same machine and unify them into one big volume. I still have an option to add more cores and add one extra storage machine. Will the performance be significantly better if I take this option? I like this unify feature because basically each brick is still independent. I can replace a brick if I need without losing data that are stored on the other bricks. do you guys have suggestions for me? many thanks! regards, -- Iang- http://fajran.web.id y!m: fajran
