Hi, Has anyone successfully run bonnie++-1.03a with these parameters or something similar?: ./bonnie++ -f -d /glfsdist/bonnie -s 24G:32k > bonnie.out I'm able to run it to completion with gluster in striped mode and directly to the XFS layer but in distributed mode I get the following error a few minutes into the test: Stat files in sequential order...Expected 16384 files but only got 0 Cleaning up test directory after error. I'm running: glusterfs-server-2.0.4-1.el5 glusterfs-common-2.0.4-1.el5 glusterfs-client-2.0.4-1.el5 with (patched) fuse: kernel-module-fuse-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5-2.7.4glfs11-1 (this is the RPM i built from the fuse.spec file after patching the sources). fuse-libs-2.7.4glfs11-1 fuse-2.7.4glfs11-1 fuse-debuginfo-2.7.4glfs11-1 fuse-devel-2.7.4glfs11-1 on a 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 x86_64 kernel. There are 5 gluster servers connected via a QDR IB Mellanox switch, here's one of the server files: #### volume posix-stripe type storage/posix option directory /export/gluster1/stripe end-volume volume posix-distribute type storage/posix option directory /export/gluster1/distribute end-volume volume locks type features/locks subvolumes posix-stripe end-volume volume locks-dist type features/locks subvolumes posix-distribute end-volume volume iothreads type performance/io-threads option thread-count 16 subvolumes locks end-volume volume iothreads-dist type performance/io-threads option thread-count 16 subvolumes locks-dist end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type ib-verbs option auth.addr.iothreads.allow 10.2.178.* option auth.addr.iothreads-dist.allow 10.2.178.* subvolumes iothreads iothreads-dist end-volume #### The server configuration on the other servers are the same except for the name of the posix/storage directory, i.e. /export/gluster2, /export/gluster3 etc. The client file for mounting the distributed gluster looks like this : #### volume client-distribute-1 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host gluster1 option remote-subvolume iothreads-dist end-volume volume client-distribute-2 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host gluster2 option remote-subvolume iothreads-dist end-volume volume client-distribute-3 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host gluster3 option remote-subvolume iothreads-dist end-volume volume client-distribute-4 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host gluster4 option remote-subvolume iothreads-dist end-volume volume client-distribute-5 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host gluster5 option remote-subvolume iothreads-dist end-volume volume readahead-gluster1 type performance/read-ahead option page-count 4 # 2 is default option force-atime-update off # default is off subvolumes client-distribute-1 end-volume volume readahead-gluster2 type performance/read-ahead option page-count 4 # 2 is default option force-atime-update off # default is off subvolumes client-distribute-2 end-volume volume readahead-gluster3 type performance/read-ahead option page-count 4 # 2 is default option force-atime-update off # default is off subvolumes client-distribute-3 end-volume volume readahead-gluster4 type performance/read-ahead option page-count 4 # 2 is default option force-atime-update off # default is off subvolumes client-distribute-4 end-volume volume readahead-gluster5 type performance/read-ahead option page-count 4 # 2 is default option force-atime-update off # default is off subvolumes client-distribute-5 end-volume volume writebehind-gluster1 type performance/write-behind option flush-behind on subvolumes readahead-gluster1 end-volume volume writebehind-gluster2 type performance/write-behind option flush-behind on subvolumes readahead-gluster2 end-volume volume writebehind-gluster3 type performance/write-behind option flush-behind on subvolumes readahead-gluster3 end-volume volume writebehind-gluster4 type performance/write-behind option flush-behind on subvolumes readahead-gluster4 end-volume volume writebehind-gluster5 type performance/write-behind option flush-behind on subvolumes readahead-gluster5 end-volume volume distribute type cluster/distribute #option block-size 2MB #subvolumes client-distribute-1 client-distribute-2 client-distribute-3 client-distribute-4 client-distribute-5 subvolumes writebehind-gluster1 writebehind-gluster2 writebehind-gluster3 writebehind-gluster4 writebehind-gluster5 end-volume #### Thanks, Sabuj Pattanayek
