Obviously I was not talking about simply _supplying_ more switches, I talked about _spreading_ the network over several switches. This means you take a client that has at least two GBit Ports and connect your two gluster servers (bricks) to one each. Obviously you can do the same with a bigger number of bricks, it only depends on the number of interfaces your client has. This means contention is not possible by accessing several bricks "at the same time" in a replication setup. But as told before, the problem of bad performance did not go away for us. -- Regards, Stephan
