I have set up my first 2 node gluster with 1 GbE for testing. Thanks to very good documentation, it was easy. My aim is to use gluster for LXC VM replication. Write performance is a critical issue for me. Test case 1: copying 22000 files with 1 GB totally local disc/filesystem: 47 MB/s NFS3: 13 MB/s glusterfs: 4 MB/s Test case 2: writing one file with 1 GB local disc/filesystem: 123 MB/s NFS3: 95 MB/s glusterfs: 67 MB/s Especially the result of test case 1 is very disappointing. Is there a way of tuning it up? -- Ullrich Horlacher Server- und Arbeitsplatzsysteme Rechenzentrum E-Mail: horlacher at rus.uni-stuttgart.de Universitaet Stuttgart Tel: ++49-711-685-65868 Allmandring 30 Fax: ++49-711-682357 70550 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/ REF: <20111221080905.GB25343 at rus.uni-stuttgart.de>
