Hi, I've a setup composed with 3 nodes(zodiac1, zodiac2, zodiac3) Node config: 8 cores W5580 at 3.20GHz, 76 Go RAM, 40 To, infiniband mlx4_0 (20 Gb) Gluster Version: 2.0.7 Kernel Linux 2.6.30 / Fuse 2.7.4 Config file: #---------------------------------------------------------- # SERVER SIDE volume posix-1 type storage/posix option directory /data/yacht-data2 end-volume volume locks-1 type features/locks subvolumes posix-1 end-volume volume brick-1 type performance/io-threads option thread-count 4 subvolumes locks-1 end-volume volume server type protocol/server option transport-type ib-verbs option transport.ib-verbs.device-name mlx4_0 option auth.addr.brick-1.allow * subvolumes brick-1 #brick-2 end-volume # CLIENT NODE DECLARATION # # ZODIAC 1 CLIENT volume zbrick1 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host 192.168.3.200 option remote-subvolume brick-1 end-volume # ZODIAC 2 volume zbrick2 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host 192.168.3.201 option remote-subvolume brick-1 end-volume # ZODIAC 3 volume zbrick3 type protocol/client option transport-type ib-verbs option remote-host 192.168.3.202 option remote-subvolume brick-1 end-volume # MEGA REPLICATE volume mega-replicator type cluster/replicate subvolumes zbrick1 zbrick2 zbrick3 end-volume #---------------------------------------------------------- Command on each server to start glusterfs: glusterfs -f myreplica.vol /mnt/data/ The scenario that I use: zodiac1 and zodiac2 are correctly synchronized. Once every thing is ok for zodiac1 and zodiac2, I decide to start the zodiac3. I order to synchronize it, I do on the box ls -aLR /mnt/data. So the replication start but the transfer rate is really slow: around 30 MB/s ! Have you an idea how can I increase this rate ? Thank you.
